Great city! but what is that structure? it looks like a model of chemical bonding in a chemistry class.

Classic Europe--incredible historic architecture. Thanks for sharing these. Brussels looks great.

That's the Atomium:

Wikipedia

The Atomium is a monument built for Expo '58, the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. Designed by André Waterkeyn, it is 103-metre (335-feet) tall, with nine steel spheres connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.

Thanks! Of course, officially Brussels is bilingual. Dutch and French.
But as a cosmopolitan city, capital of NATO, European Union and the trilingual country of Belgium, you can hear dozens of every languages here.
French, Dutch, German, Arab, Spanish, English...

We continue our tour:

The renovated Horta-entrance of the Brussels Central Station.
It's almost a direct link between the station and the Grote Markt/Grand Place.
