Overview
This great combination of two Belgian cities, Brussels & Bruges, has so much to offer – from culture to politics, history to science and of course chocolate!

Whether it’s exploring the workings of the EU at Parlamentarium, or visiting the Atomium, Brussels appeals to both the aspiring politician and scientist! A trip to Belgium would not be complete without sampling local delicacies – chocolate and waffles. Have a look at our other Brussels itineraries for more ideas of possible visits.
