Belgian Culture
|
|
Belgium’s culture or cultures
is divided between the Flemish north and French-speaking south.
Though both cultures are prevalent, Brussels is more closely
associated with the French-speaking Belgians. This culture’s
tastes are very similar to that of Parisians. Brussels Belgians
love the visual arts as well as the performing arts. The National
Orchestra and the National Opera House are internationally acclaimed
and the city is home to over 30 independent theatres. |
In addition, Brussels’ cityscape is an artistic creation
in itself. Alternative Rock music seems to have caught on amongst
the city’s hot, young crowd. Brussels’ media rivals
Paris’ for being the most uninhibited. It wouldn’t be
strange to see an advertisement hanging along side the city’s
tallest building with a fully revealed woman on it. Belgians are
fun, friendly, and hip people that have a great sense of humor.
Let Brussels’ warm culture welcome you.
