Day Trip to Brussels

Brussels is the capital of Belgium and also the capital of the European Union (EU). It is only 20 minutes from Leuven.

Brussels' most famous resident - The Manneken Pis.  He is the result of Belgium's reputation as a center for great beers. I understand they have a whole collection of costumes including an Elvis costume to wear on his birthday. 

Like father, like son. Two great beers brewed in Belgium - Julius, a wheat beer, and Chimay, a Trappist brewed beer from a monastery in Hainaut, Belgium.
