Brussels in a Nutshell Top 5 places to Explore in


It really doesn't matter if you are a boho-traveller or an orthodox backpacker. A trip to Brussels will always be as trippy as it could get. Once you plunge in to this city, there's no looking back. However, extracting the best of everything in Brussels during your short stay can be a stiff task to accomplish. Hence, we recommend you plan your trip in such a way so that you can make the most out of your stay.

Bozar: Erected in 1928 by the architect and master of Art Nouveau, Victor Horta, it is a centre of cultural and artistic life.

Visits are organised ("From Horta to Horta") to allow people to rediscover parts of the building previously forbidden to the general public.

Atomium: A seminal totem in the Brussels skyline; neither tower, nor pyramid, a little bit cubic, a little bit spherical, half-way between sculpture and architechure, a relic of the past with a determinedly futuristic look, museum and exhibition centre; the Atomium is, at, once an object , a place, a space, a Utopia and the only symbol of its kind in the world, which eldules any kind of classification. The Atomium was the main pavilion and icon of the World fair of Brussels (1958), commonly called Expo 58. It symbolised the democratic will to maintain peace among all the nations, faith in progress, both technical and scientific and, finally, an super-technological world for a better life for mankind.
