Public and usual holidays

Traditionally the Belgian take their summer holidays in July and, for schools, also in August. Therefore, the capital of Europe can be very quiet during this period and it'she best time to enjoy Brussels at a leisurely pace. During the Public holidays, banks and shops are generally closed, however fortunately, practically all the cafes and restaurants are open.
