Unassuming Brussels is the capital of Belgium, Flanders and Europe. Medieval Grand-Place, is indeed grand, with many 17th-century buildings and daily flower markets. Reopened in 2006, the Atomium, Brussels' Eiffel Tower, provides great views, inside and out. Architecture fans should visit Musee Horta, home of Belgian master architect Victor Horta. St. Gery's clubs and bars are packed year-round. Seafood eateries abound in Ste. Catherine. Walk, rather than get snarled up in traffic, in the narrow streets.

I did the beer and chocolate tour alone last year and this year with a friend. We had Marc as our guide, and he is absolutely fantastic! He REALLY knows his beer and chocolate. There is even one place with great beer that is so exclusive, you can't get it anywhere else, and you can't even buy the glass that goes with it. But it just makes it that more special ;) And there's a place that has the best waffles ever. But I won't give you the names of these places. You'll have to book the tours and ask for Marc. Trust me - you won't be disappointed!
