Brabant is the region in which the capital city of Brussels is
located. Brussels is the capital of European Union and a cultural centre of
Europe. The city is built around a pentagon of boulevards known as 'the Petit
Ring'. The Grand Place is to be found in its centre surrounded by a number of
museums and interesting architectural styles with the Gothic Town Hall and
baroque Guild Halls.
As well as the famous Comic Strip Centre, the Ancient Art Museum and the
Modern Art Museum. With artistry richer than its famous chocolate, architecture
as graceful as its cuisine and diversity that is frothier than its beer,
Brussels is northern culture at its best.
Just outside the city is the historic site of where the Battle of Waterloo
took place.
