Brussels, the capital of Belgium, is a hub of European traditions and culture. Although it is one of the premier travel destinations in Europe, many people consider Brussels to be a dull and lifeless with nothing much to offer for the tourists. Well, this is far from the truth. The city boasts world-class museums, buildings that reflect the stunning architecture of the 17th century, a vibrant nightlife, and an out-of-this-world dining scene.<\/p>\n
Belgium is a part of Schengen Area so citizens of the USA, and many other countries, can enter Belgium without a visa. However, the visa-free travel in the EU should not exceed 90 days. If you intend to stay for a longer duration then you will need to apply for a longer duration visa. It is to be noted that visas are not required for citizens of countries in the EU.

Spring is considered to be ‘shoulder season’ in western Europe and it’s a good time to visit before the summer crowds descend on the city! It is advisable to avoid the months of November to February as the winters in Belgium are very cold. The city often drops to sub-zero temperatures. However, you will see a lot of crowds at the Christmas and New Year markets. It is also a good time to attend the many holiday parties and events that are held at this time of the year. Winter in Belgium can be great if you can handle the cold!<\/p>\n If you are in Brussels then you cannot leave the town without tasting some of their legendary chocolate! Or better, pack a couple of boxes for your friends and families back home!
