Brussels is known for its cuisine and gastronomy, as well as its historical and architectural landmarks; some of them are registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.  Due to its long tradition of Belgian comics, Brussels is also hailed as a capital of the comic strip. Brussels is a safe city. However, it has the highest crime rates in Belgium. So if there is one place where you should be extra vigilant in Belgium, it's Brussels. During the day, be careful of pickpockets. For families and young professionals, Brussels is a massively popular choice for a relocation. It doesn't quite offer the latte-laden, avocado-packed edge and excitement of bohemian cities like Amsterdam and Berlin, but it offers great job opportunities, excellent schools and a fantastic quality of life.

Bruges is a major attraction for tourists, with its perfectly-preserved medieval streets rimming tranquil canals that lure flocks of travelers each year. But plenty of other towns in the country  particularly Ghent and Mechelen retain excellent architectural examples from the Middle Ages as well.
