Jam 10 pagi, Farris Holliday telah bersedia untuk membawa kami ke kota Brussel. dari kem perkhemahan Jupiler Le Roptai di perkampungan Ave Et Affe ke Brussel, perjalanan mengambil masa kurang dari 40 minit.
Kota Brussels has grown from a 10th-century fortress town founded by Charlemagne's grandson into a metropolis of more than one million inhabitants.The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers a total area of 4,127 km2, covering the Brussels-Capital Region and 103 surrounding municipalities, and has a population of almost 2.7 million.
Since the end of the Second World War, Brussels has been an important centre for international politics. It hosts the main institutions of the European Union, and the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Thus, Brussels is the polyglot home of many international organisations, politicians, diplomats and civil servants. Brussels is the EU's third-richest city in terms of per capita income.
Although historically Dutch-speaking, Brussels underwent Frenchification in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today most inhabitants are native French-speakers, although both languages have official status. This process has led to a longstanding conflict between the French and Dutch speaking community, reflecting the situation in Belgium at large.
Di Brussel banyak tempat bersejarah.hati akan terpukau melihat bangunan-bangunan lama di sini yang ada dibina sejak dari tahun 1200-1400 lagi. Tempat pertama kami singgah di bandar Brussel ialah Atomium, iaitu bangunan berbentuk molekul-molekul atom yang besar dibina sewaktu atau selepas pengembaraan ke bulan oleh Neil Armstrong.
