You will explore Brussels, often called the capital of Europe, and encounter both its attractions and its more unusual sides. Along the way you will hear about corruption and organised crime as part of the city's recent history and present-day stories. At the same time you will take in the contrast between magnificent buildings and the poorer construction that appears across parts of the city.
You will travel through key areas including the Sablon district, the European headquarters, Cinquantenaire, the Atomium and the Grand Place. As you move through these neighbourhoods, commentary will link the impressive public and historic architecture with the social and political issues that shape the city. The experience will balance sightseeing with context, so you will leave with a clearer sense of both Brussels’s benefits and its odd, sometimes troubling, aspects.
