The Capital of Europe: Discover Art, Culture and Belgian Culinary Delights in Brussels

This relatively small city is admired for its charm and the richness of its heritage. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage buildings, products of the city’s thousand-year-old history. Book your flight to Brussels with Royal Air Maroc and prepare to sample the exceptional treasures Brussels has to offer.

Brussels Historic Sites

Meander around the Grand Place, said to be one of the most beautiful places in the world and an outstanding blend of architectural and artistic styles. A marketplace since the 12^th century, the square is lined with graphic wooden houses and market halls. The mighty Gothic City Hall was built in three stages in the 15^th century. Visit the home and studio of Victor Horta, the great Belgian architect. Magnificent examples of Art Nouveau architecture, they feature his trademark white stone facades and quality ironwork. Don’t forget to admire the statue of Mannekin Pis, the cheeky cherub who, one legend has it, doused a fire with his urine and saved the king’s castle from burning down!

Parks in Brussels

For a relaxing day out, visit the Soignes forest, 4,400 hectares of tall beech forest planted at the end of the 18^th century. Today, five small forest areas are recognised by UNESCO, three of which are pristine wilderness areas. Enjoy some of the heritage sites: the former Augustine abbey of Rouge-Cloitre, founded in 1367; the former Boitsfort racecourse and the restored listed building; and the castle of La Hulpe, whose name comes from the Celtic helpe, the silver river.

Brussels Cuisine

Let’s not forget food and drink. Brussels is a major producer of beer, and there are more than 800 brands of beer for sale in the city! Try traditional waffles dusted with icing sugar, and don’t miss the opportunity to sample the wares of renowned makers of the famous Belgian chocolate. For more savoury fare, choices range from a cone of fried potatoes and mayonnaise, typically eaten while on the move, and moules-frite, mussels cooked in wine and served with fried potatoes, to the more exotic Anguilles au Vert, or eels in herbs, and state-of-the-art gastronomic adventures!
