Famously known as the administrative centre of the European Union and often dubbed as the EU’s capital city, the city of Brussels might sound very business and bureaucracy focused.

It’s the European culture crossroads between the Germanic in the north and the Romance in the south. You can see it from the architecture and art all around the city alongside some of the unusual attractions. If you are planning to spend a couple of days in the city, check out our top Airbnb vacation rentals in Brussels city centre.
