BRUSSELS - BELGIUM
Brussels is an exciting, modern city,
yet it is rich in strikingly beautiful medieval
and art nouveau buildings. It has outstanding
museums and galleries and a vibrant cultural life.
The heart of the capital city of Belgium lies
inside a circle of main roads. The inner city
can easily be explored within this circle on foot,
by bus, or by tram. For areas outside it, there
is an excellent subway system.
There are many attractions the whole
family will enjoy. One that is sure to please
is Brupark, an outstanding theme park in the city's
northern suburbs. There the Atomium can be viewed
from the ground by going inside the structure.
There is a 24 theater complex, a planetarium,
a water park, and a miniature re-creation of Europe
that has several hands - on components.
Shopping in Brussels is a favorite occupation.
Though there are no longer 22,000 lace makers
as there were in the 17th century, visitors will
have at least 40 lace makers' shops from which
to choose. Much lace is now machine made, but
handmade lace can still be found. Art and antique
shops are also abundant. Boutiques feature the
latest fashions on several of the city's streets...
