Exploring Brussels

The capital of Belgium and being entirely surrounded by Dutch-speaking Flanders, Brussels is one of the most important cities in Europe and sees millions of cheap flights coming into the city annually. Seen as the capital of the European Union, as well as a crossroads of cultures, Brussels can be described as perhaps the very essence of the cultural melting pot. However, despite its diversity, it still retains its own unique character and charm and regardless of whether you are one of the many visitors taking flights from Edinburgh to Brussels or from anywhere else in the world, there is a lot to explore within the city itself; certainly enough to keep any traveller busy for several weeks at least.

Brussels is a complex mixture of modern and medieval. As an international hub it regularly sees travellers coming in, as well as going out on flights to London or flights to Aberdeen and other destinations throughout the world. Whether one chooses to visit such sites as the la Grand Place de Grote Markt, walk the streets of the historic centre or view the Manneken Pis, there are plenty of architectural wonders throughout the city to suit every taste. Above and beyond the older architecture, the city boasts a wide number of modern skyscrapers and major business corporations and while many visitors book cheap flights to Brussels specifically to take in the Bohemian atmosphere of the Saint Gilles portion of the city, others come here specifically on business trips related to the European Union.
