It is.
But it's hard te believe that Brussels only has one million inhabitants.

Wow...Brussels is really one of the most under-rated cities in Europe.
Reminds a little of Vienna, though I can't say which looks better.

But it certainly looks better than any city in Germany or France, even Paris.

Its definately worth a visit
