Brussels

Brussels is the capital city of Belgium, and the effective capital of the European Union. The majority of inhabitants natively speak French, although some still speak Dutch. Many multi-national companies have offices in the city, and it is also home to several universities. 

Transport inside the city can be made by Metro, which features four lines with 60 stations. There is also an extensive tram system and overground commuter rail system which is well linked with the metro and bus network. Buses within the city are operated by TEC and De Lijn. 

There are three principal rail stations in Brussels: Brussels Midi/Zuid, Brussels Central, and Brussels Nord. International, high-speed trains run to/from Brussels Midi/Zuid which is a short bus/tram/train ride to the city centre. International rail services connect the city to Cologne, Paris, London and Amsterdam.
