Brussels is a city under construction. A lot of the buildings in the old city are being renovated completely from inside out. The EU quarter is not very interesting from an architectural point of view. Unfortunately, since my stay in Brussels was very short, I was not able to make it to the meeting chamber tour, but I snapped some pictures around the main buildings.

^ :master: the parliament building looks like it will endure at least 3000 years

Nice pictures!

What were those Santas doing there in April? :lol:

I have no idea. As I was taking photos I saw a parade with a Danish flag and they all posed for a professional photographer to snap a few pictures and with us as well.

Great pics khskyline!
It's not Brussels most beautiful district, but there are some impressive buildings over there.
And the residentials neighbourhoods in the area are realy beautiful!
