The concept of Brussels as the crossroads of Europe has never been more relevant than it is today. With the accession of ten new EU member states in 2004 & Romania & Bulgaria to come in 2007, Brussels is a true cosmopolitan hybrid
- ever developing & ever burgeoning. Continuing expansion of high-speed train links & Brussels airport also makes it an important transport hub. This all means that Brussels has more residents & visitors pouring in than ever before. But whilst cranes dominate the skyline, the old city centre remains defiantly unchanged. This mix of Euro-modernism & Belgian cultural tradition sets the future trend for Brussels as it comes to terms with the new & rigorously protects the old. Time Out Brussels gives the visitor an insight into the way the city works & lives & deconstructs the myth that Brussels is just a faceless bureaucratic city with a nice old square in the middle. Our resident writers brim with local knowledge & are keen to share it.
