The Brussels Region is the largest urban, the capital of Belgium and the center of the European Union, consisting of 19 municipalities. One of the municipalities is the City of Brussels, the capital city and the seat of main institutions of the EU. The Brussels Region has a population of over 1.8 million.
The European Union has no official capital city, but, as it is the seat of the European Commission, European Council and Council of the European Union, Brussels is known as its unofficial capital.
During her staying in Brussels, my sister sent me this cool postcard. She even circled the place where her office used to be when she worked in the European Parliament. What a great sister I have :)
