Brussels holidays

With façades straight out of the late 1800s, cobbled streets and ornate palaces, the Brussels cityscape looks like something you might find printed on an expensive box of (Belgium) chocolates. However, behind the guild-houses and vintage flea-markets, you’ll find a city that is as quirky and contemporary as it is beautiful. Brussels has a bubbling arts’ scene, which gives rise to an astonishing amount of festivals and celebrations. For those who prefer to relax, sit back, and take in the scenery, the café culture is alive and kicking, with plenty of places to simply watch the world go by. The parks are spacious and well maintained, making Brussels feel more like a collection of small towns rather than a modern metropolis.

Brussels holiday Packages with Qatar Airways Holidays are the best way to get to know this stunning and surprising city.
