1 Internship in Brussels? Just the best international experience in Europe Just the best international opportunity for you!

2 Brussels is multicultural, plurilingual, its population is cosmopolitan and the unexpected awaits you at every turn. No matter what time of year you visit, there s always something happening! Creativity here is contagious, good food is easy to find and the mood is festive. Add a dash of humour and a pinch of self-mockery and you have the recipe for the city s legendary conviviality. Less than two hours from Paris or london, its incomparable quality of life and the modernity of its infrastructures make it the no. 1 city for congresses, conferences, lobbyists or press correspondents. Capital of Europe, as well as of comic strips, surrealism, chocolate, Art nouveau and beer, it is also the greenest city. Its role and its talents may be on a vast scale, but it owes its very special charm to its human scale. It is an ideal size which enables it to adapt to your requirements or wishes, however ambitious they may be, and however long your stay. But judge for yourself: Brussels awaits you... and is already missing you.

3 The cultural and historic heritage of Brussels is really unique: the Grand Place, considered one of the most beautiful squares in the world, is also included on the list of Unesco world Heritage sites. Many outstanding buildings in a wide variety of styles, from mediaeval constructions to the most modern architecture, demonstrate the great architectural richness of the city. the Ommegang, a great historic pageant reconstructing Charles v s triumphal entrance to the Grand Place in Brussels in 1549 remains the oldest survivor of the intangible heritage of Brussels.

4 You will hear people talking all sorts of languages, come across Swedish conference participants and German journalists. No doubt about it, you are in the heart of the European district. Opposite you, overlooking the treetops of the Park Léopold, you will see the seat of the european Parliament, known locally as the Caprice des Dieux. And the place du Luxembourg, place de Londres or place Jourdan bustle daily with this cosmopolitanism. A little further away, the Schuman district is home to the Berlaymont, the flagship building of the European Commission, and in its wake, the amazing melting- pot of the cultures that populate the Capital. Brussels has the largest number of headquarters of international associations (1700), lobbyists (25,000) and press correspondents (1000) on the planet Source:
