About this activity

Brussels, a little bit Dutch, a little bit French even German, but again very original and specific - very Belgian!

Let's explore the historical and religious heritage of Belgium, meet 4 of the Belgian biggest images in one place - "friets" (frayed potatoes) , chocolate ("pralines"), waffles and beer.

Brussel is also the meeting point of Flemish and Walloon culture-making, harmonized mosaic unity of opposites.

The place of origin of unique draft horses and with a rich historical, artistic and architectural background ( museums, grandiose palaces, churches, villas, squares... ) but at the same time the center of modern European democracy and unity.
