  The Belgian city of Brussels is well-known for its historic architecture. Brussels has all the expected trappings of a big city: shopping districts, trendy bars and clubs, high-quality restaurants and a variety of entertainment. Because it's a big city, cheap accommodations are not easy to find, but vacationers on a budget can find a few reasonably priced hotels.
