Brussels

Brussels · Belgium · Zaventem

A Grand Place ornate enough that Victor Hugo called it the most beautiful square in Europe, beer traditions running to over a thousand named styles, and waffles and fries treated as their own dedicated food groups.

The best time to visit Brussels is Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 16°C (60°F). Local time there is 23:52 (UTC+2).
