Brussels wears two identities at once: seat of the European Union and a city of comic-strip murals, medieval guildhalls, and chocolate shops tucked down cobbled lanes. Beyond the Grand Place, visitors settle into hotels ranging from grand boulevard establishments to quiet Art Nouveau townhouses, while the local food scene shows off at restaurants serving mussels, waffles, and refined Belgian fare. Curious travelers can round things out with the city's curiosities, from the Atomium to peculiar street statues.
