All About Brussels, Belgium
Brussels is the capital of Belgium and it is the headquarters of the
European Union. It
is also considered to be one of the biggest urban areas of the country.
It was started in
the 10th Century and to date it has close to1.8 million inhabitants.
Ever since the Second
World War, it changed to be a political city and many European politics
are mainly
held in this city.
The NATO treaty was signed here plus a number of
treaties especially
the ones that involve war. It is also one of the cities in the world
known to have a high
number of international organisations and diplomats. It was initially a
Dutch speaking
city but that has soon been replaced since most of the inhabitants are
French speaking.
French is wildly used and many people find it easy to communicate while
in the city.
The city usually experiences the oceanic climate this is due to its
closeness to the
Atlantic Ocean. Snow fall does not occur on many occasions and it is
estimated that it
rains at least 200 days in every year. There are farmers which makes it
easy for people
to access the food. Unlike many urban areas where there is no
agricultural activity,
Brussels has a high number of farmers who are able to produce enough
food to feed
the dwellers.
The official language used is French and Dutch but French is more
popular. It also has
a high number of French inhabitants which is estimated to be 4.1% and
the Belgian
nationals are 73.1% are Belgian nationals. It has also played a major
role in the politics
of the world by hosting different countries which are on conflicting
sides. It has also
been considered to be the perfect meeting place for the European Union.
Brussels records the highest number of tourist than all the other cities
in the country.
This makes room for development since the tourist will require places
that they will
sleep, eat and tour.
However, the streets are really crowded and you may find it hard to move
around
especially during the high peak seasons of the year. There are a number
of Belgium tourist attraction sites and they mainly tour during the holiday season.
Most of the people in this city usually work in the offices like the
government, political
and international organisations. The houses are very expensive to rent
and to buy and
you will be required to invest a huge amount because there are a lot of
potential buyers.
