Brussels
An unpretentious mix of grand edifices
and modern skyscrapers, Brussels is a modest, confident capital that many
visitors find to be an acquired taste. Since it doubles as the capital of the
European Union, it's packed to the rafters with bureaucrats and Eurocrats who
have given the place an air of bustling efficiency without exactly festooning it
with fun. The city is built along a pentagon of boulevards known as the Petit
Ring. At its heart is the Grand Place, arguably Europe's most beautiful central
square. Within a twenty-minute walk is much of the city's accommodation, most of
it easily accessible by tram, bus or metro.
