<![CDATA[As you might expect for the city which is the home of the EU, Brussels is a cosmopolitan and modern destination with a rich history.<br/><br/>
However, the appeal of Brussels goes far beyond its political connections, revealing a lively and energetic capital with plenty to keep you occupied during a city break.<br/><br/>
Brussels boasts some extremely fine architecture, with the ornate and impressive Grand Place, lined with splendid baroque guild houses, lying at its centre as the focal point for much of the city's cultural activities.<br/><br/>
The city is home to some of the best museums in Europe, including the Royal Museum of Fine Arts and the futuristic Atomium, shaped like a giant molecule, which has become one of the major landmarks of Brussels.<br/><br/>
Or if you feel more like watching the world go by during your city break, step into one of the city's many bars, restaurants or pavement cafes and enjoy some local beer, waffles, or some mussels and chips. Brussels also has a vibrant night life, with enough clubs, cinemas, theatres and concert venues to satisfy any taste.<br/><br/>
A compact city which can easily be explored during a city break, Brussels has accommodation options to suit a wide range of pockets. Direct flights from the UK are available with operators including SN Brussels, which flies out of several British airports.<br/><br/>]]>
