The buildings and different styles could hardly vary more: Historical buildings from neo classic or gothic stand directly beside ultramodern office centers of banks, insurance or mechanisms of the European union.

The most well-known landmarks of Brussels are the oversize "Atomium" and the "Manneken Pis". So impressing the largest atom of the world appears at the first sight, so insignificantly and a little worth seeing presents themselves the figure, which shows since the 17. century a piddling boy. Hard to believe that year by year over one hundred thousand visitors want to see the "Manneken Pis" in its numerous and always changing linings.
The Atomium in the entertainment park "Bruparck" is a must for every visitor. The aluminum building consisting of nine balls is 165 a billionfold increased iron crystal molecule. From the highest ball you have a mad view of the city. The different exhibitions which are to be visited in the other balls are at least just as worth seeing.
If you are already in Brussels, you should not be able to escape the Comic museum.
