In addition to the culinary specialities, we shouldn’t forget the Grand Place central square with the Manneken Pis sculpture and the Atomium in Brussels or the Old Town in Bruges, known as the “Venice of the North”. If you want to hike, you can reconnect with nature in the Ardennes Forest; if you prefer the sea, De Haan beach is not far away. In addition, the capital city, Brussels, is the seat of several EU institutions such as the EU Commission, Parliament and Council.
