So much more than the capital of Europe
Even if you haven’t visited Brussels before, you no doubt know a few things about the city already: it’s the centre of European decision-making, produces world-class beer, mouth-watering chocolate and waffles. Now what you may not realise is that the city offers a unique blend of culture, international business and leisure all combined with its own distinct national flavour. Evolving from a combination of Flemish, Walloon, European and global influences, Brussels is a true melting pot. Where else can you have a meeting, enjoy Ethiopian cuisine and sip a fine Trappist beer in an art-nouveau bar once frequented by the world-famous Belgian singer, Jacques Brel? This city will greet you with its different neighbourhoods and their secrets, each one offering an experience totally distinct to the next.
Discover what’s on in the vibrant cultural agenda of Brussels during your stay :
SQUARE is two steps away from the capital's main transport hub, Central Station, which has a direct and fast train connection to Brussels Airport. Local train, tram, metro and bus lines all converge at Central Station, providing access to the entire city and rest of the country.
Meet the other Summit participants and exchange views during this opening reception in the beautiful setting of the Museum of Ancient Art. (By invitation only)
