Host City

Brussels and the Brussels Capital Region

Brussels, the “Heart of Europe”, has a lot to offer. There’s its centre, with the Grand Place’s Gothic town hall
and imposing Saint Hubert galleries, home to the best chocolatiers in the country. There are luxurious
shops, culturally diverse cultural offering areas, stately districts full of Art Nouveau architecture and green
refuges such as Jubelpark. Explore the city’s culinary opulence in countless cafés and restaurants and the
cultural opulence of over a hundred museums. Brussels is everything at once.

Brussels is also the capital of the Brussels-Capital Region, of Flanders and of the French Community of
Belgium.
Whether you’re a spectator or a participant (or both): if you love sports, a visit to Brussels will definitely get
your heart rate pumping. In addition to numerous sports clubs and facilities across the region, our capital
city boasts a huge range of sporting events: from large, prestigious gatherings like the Brussels Diamond
League Meeting or the Brussels Marathons to fun activities open to all levels of fitness.
