a series of travel images from Belgium, Brussels (Bruxelles, Brussel), the capital of Belgium and to some extend of the European Union. As a crossroads in central Europe it's been a melting pot of cultures retaining its own character. One of the highlights of a visit is the Grote Markt/ Grand Place with a collection of ornate buildings, Baroque Guild houses, the Gothic town hall and the King's house. Well preserved also is a collection of Art Nouveau architecture by Victor Horta. And last but not least; the people of Brussels love good food so the city abounds with great restaurants.
