Brussels is the seat of the European Union and the Capital of Belgium, most of the locals speak French and Dutch and their level of English is quite good. Don’t miss the medieval Grand Place, a fabulous square, surrounded by Guild Houses from the Heyday of Flemish trade during the 1600’s. Order a plate of Moules Et Frites, the national dish of steamed Mussels with French fries that can be dipped, Belgian style, in 27 different kinds of Mayonnaise. Wash it all down with a pint of Belgian beer, the best is brewed by Trappists monks. You can buy beer directly at their Abbey, and the locals say that it tastes heavenly. The beautiful medieval town of Bruges is less than two hours away by train. Take the train to nearby Aachen (on the German side of the Belgian border) and uncover over 2000 years of European history, from the Romans and Charlemagne, to the Battle of the Bulge. Enjoy Belgium and Europe with vayama’s cheap international airfares this winter.
