Brussels hotel

Brussels

Brussels: Brussels is the European capital and the city is home to the European Commission and to the Council of ministers of the European Union, but to many people, Brussels means two things - chocolate and lace. Brussels is a stylish city and two of Brussels' most famous exports include Tintin and the surreal art of artists like Magritte and Delvaux.

The Grand Place is at the heart of Brussels and is one of the most beautiful parts of the city. This magnificent square boasts multiple streetside cafes, intimate cellar restaurants and the gothic masterpiece that is the Town Hall. Mannekin Pis is Belgium's national symbol and his female counterpart can be found in an alley off Rue des Bouchers.

Berlin: Cutting edge may not be the term that immediately springs to mind when you think of Berlin, but in recent years Germany's capital city has transformed into one of Europe's most cosmopolitan cities. The fall of the Wall meant a rise in a new, modern Berlin which, today, attracts thousands of visitors from around the world each year.

Berlin is, of course, dotted with historic sites stirring up memories of the long hard years of the Berlin Wall. Two of the most visited of these sites are Brandenburg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie Museum. Brandenburg Gate was once the boundary between East and West Germany and today is the nation's favorite hotspot for New Year's Eve celebrations.
