Brussels is home to many national institutions including the Royal Palace, where the royal family resides, the Palace of the Nation, the seat of the Belgian Federal parliament, or the Palace of Justice, where the Court of Cassation is located.

Brussels has over 80 museums, including the Royal Museums of Fine Arts and the Magritte Museum, as well as a large number of universities, including the world-famous ones Vrije Universiteit Brussels and Université Libre de Bruxelles. The city is also famous for its local waffles, chocolates, French fries and extremely strong and tasty beer.
