Travel Informations Brussels
Brussels is a very well kept secret. It is much more than just the Grand Place, a packet of "frites", or a plate of mussels in one of the cosy restaurants in the rue des Bouchers.
 |
Brussels is a very pleasant place to live, with lots of wooded parks that make it very green. Indeed, it is second after Washington in the hit parade of green cities (4000 ha of parks and woodland, a quarter of the city area) with 40 m² of chlorophyll per inhabitant, while in Paris they each have only 1.5 m²! |
Climate
You do not come to Brussels for its sunshine except for the kind you find inside yourself - by practising Yoga at the Institute! Winters tend to be mild and wet, the spring is sometimes very pleasant, and there can be heat waves in the summer. But it rains at least 200 days a year, so bring a raincoat or an umbrella.
