Toronto To Brussels Flights Starting @ Rs. 17,555

The de-facto capital of the EU, Brussels is a city to inspire joy, curiosity and the most beautiful stories of travel and camaraderie. Catch a glimpse of the renowned sculpture Manneken Pis, behold the mighty Gothic and Baroque-style buildings of the Grand-Palace and visit the St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral which Victor Hugo called "the purest flowering of the Gothic style” and the site of most Belgian royal weddings. Music lovers will find no end to their delight at the Musée des Instruments de Musique (the Musical Instruments Museum), and for art lovers, the Horta Museums stands ready to astonish. Beer reigns supreme in Brussels, and you can taste some of the best in the Cantillon Brewery (brewing since 1900). The Palais de Justice houses the city’s courts of law and deserves a visit by virtue of its size (larger than St. Peter’s Basilica) and the panoramic view of the city it offers. The theme park, Mini-Europe lets you tour the continent in a day. Don’t forget to pay a little tribute to Atomium, the molecule shaped stainless steel structure with exhibition spaces devoted to exhibits on Belgian culture. Lovers of Tintin (the Belgian reporter, remember?) will be inevitably drawn to Belgian Comic Strip Center, or the Centre Belge de la Bande Dessinee.
