The cosmopolitan capital of Belgium is a bilingual city where both French and Dutch are official languages. Most streets have two names; for example, the main square is called both La Grand-Place and the Grote Markt. Surrounding the Grote Markt is an array of spectacular Gothic buildings, including the 15th-century Brussels City Hall, which towers 315 feet above the square and is capped by an 18-foot statue of St. Michael, patron saint of the city. Elsewhere, you will find art nouveau museums and art deco residences. Brussels is also a European gastronomic capital, with both fine-dining restaurants and atmospheric cafés.
