Brussels has two faces: that of a contemporary and historical metropolis on the one hand, and that of a personal, friendly city on the other. As a regional, federal and European capital, Brussels is a preferred location for many cultural events: theatre, music, exhibitions, dance, conferences, etc. The region has numerous theatres and cinemas.

The Meyboom, the Ommegang, the Zinneke Parade, Toone ⦠at the heart of influences from north and south, Brussels has created its very own culture, dialect and folklore. This folklore is that of the âbrusseleirâ accent (the one our French neighbours identify as the âBelgianâ accent), of course, but it is also that of a city which has succeeded in gradually integrating the new cultures that have settled here, bringing elements from north and south and from far beyond.
