Brussels the Capital of Europe - the recent enlargement of the European Union has made Brussels even more the place to meet in Europe. Its strategic position, so easy to reach, and concentration of facilities and services make Europe’s beautiful capital city an ideal choice for international meetings.

The heart of Brussels is the Grand Place (Grote Markt). This historic market square with its splendid guild houses and the impressive Gothic beauty of the Town Hall is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful town squares in Europe.
The variety and contrast of its different architectural styles, its Atomium, its Manneken-Pis, its beers, its waffles and its chocolates make this relaxed and comfortable capital definitely a place to visit.

Grande Place
