Over the centuries, the Romans the Spanish and the Germans have ruled Brussels. International business has invaded the city in the past three decades, resulting in blocks full of steel-and-glass office buildings, but a few steps from the cobbled streets, splendid cafés, and graceful Art Nouveau architecture that speaks of the city's eventful past. Brussels prides itself on handmade lace and chocolate, and serves each individual craft beer in its own unique glass. The city's spirit survives in traditional cafes, bars, bistros, and restaurants

 Brussels's city centre is small enough to walk. Beyond the centre, public transportation is necessary. The Métro (subway) system is quick and efficient, covering many tourist locations, and the suburbs. Otherwise, use the tramlines. They are faster and more comfortable than the buses. Various car rental companies are available.
