  Brussels is the capital city of Belgium. Originally founded as a 10th century fortress town, the city is now a modern metropolis inhabited by more than a million people. The city is also where the European Union is located. Brussels is a modern city that still maintains a sense of history. Brussels was largely spared by the bombs that destroyed so many other cities during the Second World War so many of its historical buildings are still in tact. In the case of hotel accommodations, visitors to Brussels will find a number of good options.
