Brussels is the capital of Belgium and the center of its largest urban agglomeration. It is the political center of Europe, which houses the headquarters of the European Union. Despite its metropolitan status, Brussels is a surprisingly small and peaceful city. Unlike charming Bruges and Ghent, which are constantly filled with hordes of tourists, the capital of Belgium is the main educational and economic center of the country, which, it seems, is constantly busy with work
