Metroji clue #86

Brussels in five emoji

Belgium

Officially bilingual, effectively multilingual, and the administrative centre of the European Union. Smaller and stranger than that makes it sound.

What each emoji refers to

The filled praline was invented here in 1912 at Neuhaus.
Anderlecht are the city's club and the national side's home ground is here.
The European Commission and Council both sit in the Leopold quarter.
Belgian beer culture is UNESCO listed. Lambic is fermented with wild yeast from this valley.
Magritte has his own museum, and comic book murals are painted across the centre.
