Flemish Brabant

Flemish Brabant encompasses 2,118 square kilometers of territory surrounding Brussels, with Leuven serving as the provincial capital and largest municipality.

The territory emerged as a separate administrative entity in 1995 when the former province of Brabant divided into three distinct regions.

The province maintains Dutch as its primary language while several municipalities near Brussels provide services in both Dutch and French.

Two administrative districts, Halle-Vilvoorde and Leuven, contain 65 municipalities connected by an extensive network of roads and railways.

The province houses Belgium's main international airport in Zaventem and contains multiple traditional beer producers including Stella Artois in Leuven.
