Brussels is considered the capital city of the European Union because of the numerous EU institutions headquartered here. Organisations with their main seat in Brussels include the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol). Apart from being the capital city of Belgium, Brussels is the capital of the French Community of Belgium and the capital of Flanders. Brussels is a European metropolis situated almost directly in the center of the small country. Notable trademarks of Brussels include the Grande Place, a beautiful gothic market ensemble, the recently renovated Atomium from the 1958 World Expo and "Manneken Pis" - the child of the city. Brussels stands for exquisite cuisine, delicious Belgian chocolates and intricate lacework. Interesting museums, galleries, art-deco architecture, fine shopping and nightlife, all distinctly European, await the visitor. Europe par excellance!
