Picture of BrusselsBrussels, one of Europe’s financial centers, places Belgium’s dazzling cultural heritage front and centre. It’s a bilingual metropolis reflecting the country’s French- and Dutch-speaking character, although you’ll also detect many other languages afloat in its richly multicultural populace. It’s also an excellent place to explore Belgian cuisine — a “gourmet destination,” as Frommer’s describes it — including elegant chocolates and some of the globe’s finest beer.

You’ll explore one of the world’s most illustrious culinary traditions on this journey to Brussels. It’s a delicious, informative introduction to Belgium’s craft beer, a treasured component of Belgian culture for hundreds of years. Under the friendly tutelage of a “beer sommelier,” you’ll enjoy a 2.5-hour tour of native brews — including the legendary Trappist beers long created by abbey monks — and end up at a popular local watering hole with the opportunity to continue your sampling.
