Belgian Grand Prix City Guide
Brussels, Belgium’s capital, remains a great city to tame. Don’t hesitate to explore and discover a city that is discreet but at the same time promising: archetypal restaurants and bars downtown, expensive shopping and trendy clubs uptown and the always-hot EU district. You definitely won’t be disappointed. When you’ve had your fill of the city, head south to Han-Sur-Lesse to visit the natural wonders of The Cave of Han, one of Belgium’s top tourist attractions.
