Praktické informácie
Brussels is home to the Atomium, a unique structure built for the 1958 World's Fair that offers panoramic views of the city from its top sphere. This architectural curiosity, shaped like an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times, provides a glimpse into the city's mid-century modern aspirations. Nearby, the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken are a seasonal treasure; these 19th-century glasshouses designed by Alphonse Balat open to the public for just a few weeks each spring, showcasing exotic plants and stunning floral displays. In the heart of Brussels, the Marolles district offers a different slice of the city’s character with its daily flea market at Place du Jeu de Balle. Here, you can find everything from vintage furniture to quirky Brussels memorabilia. For a taste of Belgian authenticity, head to Maison Dandoy on Rue au Beurre, where speculoos and other traditional biscuits have been crafted since 1829. This historic bakery is a testament to Brussels' enduring culinary traditions.
