Travelling to Brussels for the weekend means you get the benefit of unbeatable hotel deals at 4 and 5 star hotels. At a business city like Brussels, the hotels are empty at the weekends, so they like to fill them with pleasure seeking tourists. Take advantage of the low prices and relax in the comfort of a 5 star hotel at the price of a 3 star in any other city.

The Grand Place, combining Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque in one splendid square, is a permanent reminder in a bustling city housing the European Community. Around the Grand Place are tiny streets lined with restored Renaissance or Belle Epoque houses. Food buffs say its cuisine equals, if not betters, Paris. Famous for its chocolate, Brussels is not a city for slimmers. Explore peaceful Sablon for antiques housed in elegant centuries' old buildings.
