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.

Hmmm.... looks like Berlaymont is finally used by the EU... after almost a decade of renovation.

Outstanding pictures.
I love that preaching chair (I don't know what it's called in english) in that church.
