Brussels is a city capable of surprising with the majesty of the palaces of the Grand-Place, but, at the same time, also with the sinuosity of Victor Horta’s Art Nouveau buildings, Henry Van de Velde and Paul Hankar.

What makes this place special? Brussels is the smell of hot chocolate Waffle on the street; the bubbles of his famous abbey beer; the restaurants in the “alleys” of the center, enjoying excellent seafood. A cosmopolitan city … this, and not only, make Brussels a special, precious, and authentic place.
