Brussels, the chocolate capital of the world

Once you land, getting to the city is easy. Choose from a convenient taxi ride or a cheaper bus journey, the airport is only 8 miles from the centre of town. A taxi will set you back around €35 but do make sure you choose a licensed vehicle; they're easy to recognise with a distinctive blue and yellow emblem. The bus station is on Level 0 and the Airport Line will take you straight to the heart of the European Quarter for only €3 in advance (or €5 if you buy your ticket on the bus - use the ticket machine on platform C to avoid the surcharge).
For business, stay at the Sofitel Brussels Europe, located just a short walk from the main industrial centre. The service is excellent and it has everything you need to work efficiently. For pleasure, The Dominican is hard to beat with its stylish decor and central location.
Start at the Grand Place, one of the most beautiful town squares in Europe. The imposing gothic buildings provide a backdrop to the most important tourist destination in Belgium. It's here in August that you can experience the spectacular ‘flower carpet', a display of over a million brightly-coloured begonias that started in 1971 and returns every year. This famous World Heritage Site is a great place to indulge in the Belgian hospitality so enjoy a cool, refreshing beer or a delicious waffle as you sit and watch the world go by.
After dark, Brussels is a delight; Delirium Cafe has over 2000 different beers to choose from. For a friendly local eatery visit Brasserie T'Capitenje in the St. Catherine's district. Try the tasty Stoemp, a traditional Belgian dish consisting of mashed potatoes, root vegetables, cream and herbs. If you have time, go to the KVS Bol Theatre in the Lakensestraat for a diverse range of dance, music and comedy.
