Welcome to the first day of your trip to Brussels. You have 2 days ahead, and today is the city center: the most famous places that form the first impression. Brussels is the capital of Belgium and the de facto center of the European Union. It combines medieval architecture, modern buildings and a rather different rhythm of the districts. It is this “uncomplicated perfection” that creates the feeling of a real city, and not a scenery for tourists. Today will be: The Grand Place is the central square of Brussels, which is included in the UNESCO list and is considered one of the most beautiful in Europe. The Atomium is a symbol of modern Brussels in the form of an enlarged model of the atom, created before Expo 1958. Mini-Europe is a park where you can see the main sights of Europe in miniature in one walk. Interesting fact: The atom is 165 billion times larger than the real iron atom — it's not just the shape, but the exact structure of the crystal lattice. Have a good walk!
