Some tips when visiting Brussels

So here you are, welcome in Brussels!
Here are some tips for you to enjoy Brussels before the Conference starts (and after ;-)
Eat & Drink
Belgium is well know for its food and beverage: try our chocolates, frites (chips) and beers.
Tourism & Culture
Brussels offers a lot of museums (about 100!), but the city also offers thematic tours, among theme the comic book route.
If you have time, have a look at Belgium's other regions: Flanders (Ghent, Leuven, Brugge, ...) and Wallonia (Namur, Liège, Charleroi, Mons, ...)
In Mons (Wallonia), think about visiting the Mundaneum, the museum dedicated to Paul Otlet (recently designated as "inventor of the Internet"). Mons (European capital of culture 2015) is at about 45 km from Brussels.
