Brussels City Breaks - A compact city of contrasts
Often overlooked in favour of its more illustrious neighbours Paris and Amsterdam, the Belgian capital of Brussels nevertheless offers a perfect city break destination with dining, shopping and sightseeing to rival any of the major classical European cities. The unique mixture of Flemish and French influences can be seen in its charming, easily navigable city centre streets such as the spectacular Grand Place, surrounded by ornate merchant houses containing stylish pavement cafes or the Sablon district with its collection of colourful antique and craft shops. Wide tree lined boulevards, intimate cobbled back streets and lush parks and gardens make a city break in Brussels a delight to explore on foot.
