Home | Destinations Index | Brussels Introduction

Brussels is a hugely under-rated city, too often maligned for being boring and for its association with the EU. Allow me to let you into a well-kept secret: Brussels is a great destination, particularly for a weekend break. First, it's easily accessible from every part of the UK.

"Brussels is astonishing for its new restaurants, bars and shops which - added to the glories of its Art Nouveau heritage, its famous cartoons, world-class museums and of course, traditional mussels and frites - gives it a real vibrancy and excitement."
Mary Anne Evans , Chair of the Guild of British Travel Writers

Secondly, once you get there, the restaurants are sublime, the shopping is excellent and there are plenty of attractions to keep both adults and kids amused for days. So go. Now.
