Car hire Brussels information
With a population of 150,000 and compared to cities such as
Berlin ,
Santiago de Chile or even Tokyo, Brussels is one of the smaller capital cities in the world. However, it plays a significant role in national and international affairs. Brussels is known the world over as the headquarters of the European Union and the NATO. A large part of Brussels’ economy is based on the services industry and gastronomy (there are over 2,000 restaurants here). Many international corporations also maintain branch offices here. The most famous landmark of the city is the Atomium, remaining after the 1958 World Exhibition. Also popular with tourists from around the world is the small bronze “Manneken Pis” statue. In addition, there are a great number of historical structures such as the Town Hall, the triumphal arch and the buildings of the European Union. It’s best to visit the places of interest as part of a tour by hired car through Brussels, during which excursions to other beautiful cities such as Charleroi should not be excluded. Brussels is also known as the capital of comics. World-famous examples of Belgian comic culture are Lucky Luke and Tintin and Snowy.
