About Brussels and its gay life

Brussels is the capital and residential city of the Kingdom of Belgium (beginning with the independence of Belgium in ). In Brussels you can find among other things the headquarters of the European Union and the registered offices of the NATO headquarters and the WCO.

Gay Brussels &#; the best gay hotels, bars, clubs &#; more

Brussels is not only the capital of Belgium but also the heart of Europe. As the political capital of the EU, it embodies progressive values and is known—just as Belgium is—for its open-mindedness. Brussels is the diversity capital par excellence, with nationalities, and its inhabitants possess a free-spirited attitude born of such diversity. It's also incredibly beautiful, with Gothic and Art Nouveau architecture standing in stark contrast to the sleek glass-and-steel offices of EU institutions.

Its attractions range from the Grand Place, a UNESCO World Heritage site surrounded by ornate guildhalls that glow gold at night, to the futuristic Atomium, a museum shaped like a unit cell. Brussels boasts avant-garde art galleries and museums but also hosts some of the best gay parties in the world. Whether you're visiting for La Demence or traversing Europe, you should take your time exploring this cosmopolitan city because it's steeped in character.
