Before you travel to Brussels by coach - good to know!

While much of Brussels wears a modern facade, its centre is a sweeping mix of contemporary glass architecture, Art Deco buildings and lavish 19th-century mansions. At the heart is the glorious Grand Place, maybe one of the most beautiful squares in the world. Other city highlights include the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts and the Parc du Cinquantenaire with its triumphal arch. Be sure to have coffee and cake in a Baroque cafe so typical of Brussels and then dine on its culinary classic, moules (mussels) and frites. Pick up a STIB/MIVB transport map when you arrive in the city to help you navigate its complex transport system of Metro trains, local buses and trams.
