2024 Brussels-Capital Region Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

Brussels-A place focused with art if you spot

Found a series of art murals that brighten up the buildings of belgium which features life and common mode of transport of people there, using tram in the iconic colour of yellow. Also, other places one should see like tourist attractions, unique buildings are also featured and drawn with strong resemblance on these buildings. Brussels is a place for chocolates, but has more to offer it seems if we observe.

The Structure with a Purpose

#celebratewithtrip Atomium, one of the most popular landmarks in Brussels, Belgium. It was created for the 1958 world expo which was held in Brussels. Walked from Gare du Nord for about 25 minutes to Grand Place and from there we took Metro Line 6 to Heysel/Heizel. The Atomium is just a few steps away from the Heysel/Heizel station. The history of Atomium was very interesting. I read it before I visited the place and it was really worth it! #atomium #worldexpo #brussels #belgium #europe

CHOCOLATE lovers should be here in Brussels!

This is Pillows City Hotel located in the heart of Brussels. From train station is about 7 minutes walking distance. and of course you won't miss any single steps cause it is really-really near. The staff is really helpful. Breakfast spread are variety and you can't miss any of it cause it's really nice. What me like about this hotel is the location near to everything that me want such as Hard Rock Cafe, Grand Place, Mannekin Pis, Saint Michel Cathedral, Notre-Dame Du Sablon and etc. Me like the restaurants nearby my hotel named Woodpecker Brussels. Me had the eggs Benedict with salmon. Best breakfast in Brussels me have and never doubt it. 👍 Besides that, me love Laurent Gerbaud chocolate shop. You guys should be here and try the best and fine chocolate in Belgium. Other shop that you should try are Leonidas, Corne Port Royal, Godiva, Bruyerre and etc. If any one of you would like to go shopping, there is Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert next to Grote Markt. just walking distance from Hard Rock Brussels. For those who likes the city, me really recomend to stay in Brussels at least 4-5 days.

Brussels ans Bruges (Venice of North)

#spooktaculartrip #fallingforfall #tripblazers #givethanks #本地遊 #urbanexplorer The beautiful Brussels and Venice of North (Bruges) Belgium is not only beautiful and modern but also house to Headquarters of European Union. There are numerous tourists attractions and hotels and cuisine options. One must visit EU 🇪🇺 headquarters and the canal at Bruges, a boat ride in Bruges was simply wow. Though it was chilly cold, however its an experience, simply unforgettable.

What a Place!

#celebratewithtrip Brussels, Belgium is just a 2 and a half hour ride by bus from Amsterdam. It is faster by train but the bus was cheaper 😁 although train is definitely more comfortable but we wanted to try the bus ride experience to be able to compare it on what to take on our next vacation 😊 One of the reasons why we wanted to go to Brussels was to see the Atomium which is the most popular landmark in the city! We saw the Atomium at day time but we went there during night and it was more beautiful with all the lights on. The lights gave more life and charms to the object which is the Atomium. Brussels was a very interesting place. We had an exciting experience that we won‘t forget for the rest of our lives 😅 #brussels #belgium #atomium #busride #unforgettableexperience #europetour #europe

Fashionable Peeing Boy amongst the waffle shops

Many of us has seen this iconic bronze statue in Brussels, but did you know that his outfit changes frequently? when I visited , he was wearing this sailor outfit! He is located on a busy street corner which is packed with waffle shops - a must eat while in Brussels ! They are all freshly made and decorated with different sauces and toppings. So delicious 😋 #境外遊 #belgium #cityexplorer #dessert

Chocolate capital of Europe

Though Brussels may not be as pretty as neighbouring Bruges or Antwerp, it certainly makes up for it in cultural heritage. When you're in downtown Brussels, you can't escape a visit to the unesco world heritage listed Grand Place town square. It is alligned with the most beautiful buildings including the city hall. Just a stone's throw away from the grand place, you'll find Brussel's most famous resident, 'manneken pis', the statue of the little peeing boy. Don't forget to walk into a few chocolate shops. You may get to sample some of the world's best chocolates. Other culinary highlights include the many great Belgian beers, the chips with mayo and the incredible waffles. #eurotrip

The Parc du Cinquantenaire

The Parc du Cinquantenaire or Jubelpark is a large public, urban park of 30 ha in the easternmost part of the European Quarter in Brussels, Belgium. Most buildings of the U-shaped complex which dominate the park were commissioned by the Belgian government under the patronage of King Leopold II for the 1880 National Exhibition commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Belgian Revolution. During successive exhibitions in the same area, more structures were added. The centrepiece memorial arch, known as the Cinquantenaire Arch was erected in 1905, replacing a previous temporary version of the arcade by Gédéon Bordiau. The structures were built in iron, glass and stone, symbolising Belgium's economic and industrial performance. The surrounding 30 ha (74 acres) park esplanade was full of picturesque gardens, ponds and waterfalls. It housed several trade fairs, exhibitions and festivals at the beginning of the century. In 1930, the government decided to reserve the Cinquantenaire for use as a leisure park. #awesomepic#beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns#culturalattractions

Belgium 🇧🇪 Brussels

#2024wish In last year June, I have been Brussels , which is the capital of Belgium. I went to there for 3 days with my friends and I really enjoyed staying in there. Watching the sunset , observing the wheel and having a drink are just a dream life for me. Moreover, I have been the city centre to walk around and observed some amazing buildings. One of them is the Brussels town hall, which is fascinating. I can’t wait to come here again and explore! #Brussels

Leaving an indelible mark on every traveler.

#2024wish Brussels captivated me with its enchanting blend of history and modernity. Wandering through Grand Place, the ornate guildhalls and the opulent Town Hall showcased the city's rich medieval heritage. The Atomium's futuristic allure contrasted this, offering panoramic views. Strolling through charming neighborhoods like Sablon and Marolles revealed delightful cafes and antique shops. Indulging in Belgian chocolates and waffles was a gastronomic delight, while savoring renowned local beers added a touch of authenticity. The surreal Manneken Pis statue brought a whimsical charm to the streets. Brussels' vibrant cultural scene, evident in museums like Magritte and Horta, made this visit an enriching experience. This lovely city seamlessly blends tradition and modernity, leaving an indelible mark on every traveler. In 2024, I wish to visit Johor.

🍁🍂 Brussels

#helloautumn Enjoy the fall leaves in Brussels Park If you’re looking for the most beautiful fall foliage in Brussels, you’ll struggle to do better than Parc de Bruxelles. Although most Brussels parks are worth a visit if you’re wondering what to do in Brussels in the fall, there’s something special about Park Royale. It dates back to the 1700s, and you’ll find it between the Belgian Parliament and Royal Palace. It’s popular among runners and dog walkers, but also perfect for a leisurely walk as the green leaves start to change. Brussels is no stranger to fantastic food festivals that take place throughout the year, but one of the best is reserved for early autumn. EAT! Brussels Restaurant Festival takes place in the first and second week of September in the beautiful Bois de la Cambre Park. A visit here is one of the best ways to sample the best of the city’s famous cuisine. Dozens of restaurants set up stalls and sell some of their most popular dishes, and if you’re a foodie looking for the best activities in Brussels in the fall, you can’t go wrong with this. Between the 12th and 18th centuries, Coudenberg Palace was home to many of the region’s most powerful leaders. It was a palace that towered above the city until it burnt down in a dramatic fire. The palace disappeared almost overnight, but the ruins and its underground passages have since been opened to the public. It’s a fascinating archeological site popular among children and adults, and particularly good to visit if the fall weather turns slightly cooler. By the end of fall, the weather in Brussels in November is definitely on the chilly side, so this is an unusual thing to do in Brussels that will keep you out of the cold! #placetosee #stunningbeach #londontrip #beachparty #boracaytrip #bangkoktrip #beijingtrip #tokyotrip #shenzhentrip #sanyatrip #newyortrip ¹#hangzhoutrip #beachlovers #topbeach #placetovisit #bestbeach #travel #perfectbeach #localescapes #singaporetrip #helloautumn #triptravelguide #triptravel #beachvacation #hotelstaycation

Brussels Belgium

#fallingforfall After my business trip in Germany, my friend who followed me went with me to Brussels Belgium for a break. The City of Brussels is the largest municipality and historical centre of the Brussels-Capital Region, as well as the capital of Belgium. The City of Brussels is also the administrative centre of the European Union, as it hosts a number of principal EU institutions in its European Quarter. This trip happened during the fall season. Thus, the weather was very cooling in which we enjoyed. We don't have to perspire! The trees around have turned into shades of red and green which were so beautiful.

Belgium out of perspective

I was in Belgium for a couple of days and I hanged out in a non touristy areas and took these photos, Belgium is a nice place and you should definitely visit Brussels.

some beautiful places in Brussels

Brussels is white a small place, you can go to almost every place in one day ( if you are not tired) but for me that was very tired because it was my last destination I could just go to a few places , and almost every tourist attractions, or where I took those pictures is free. it's good to buy 1 day ticket from the metro for 8 euros, and you can travel the whole day, using the train and bus. but take care, is not for 24h it's only the day#skiadventure #staycation #themepark

Famous for their beers, chocolates and mussels!! Stayed there for 3 days

Brussels is the capital of Belgium and the Grand Place is its city centre. There are many intriguing buildings on and around the Grand Place. The Gothic building of the City Museum was originally the location of the bread market. It was destroyed and rebuilt in the 17th century and is now used as a municipal museum. The museum displays a lot of information and pictures about the history of the city of Brussels, and the most attractive is the exhibition hall on the third floor of the museum. Here, there are costumes from all over the world that are given to the urinating children Yulian, each with its own local characteristics, which is very attractive. The Swan Cafe is the place where the proletarian revolutionary mentor Marx and Engels lived and worked. It was located on the side of the Grand Place in the heart of Brussels, adjacent to the famous City Hall. The caf is a 5-storey building named after a white swan with wings fluttering on the door. The White Swan Cafe in the past has now been converted into a restaurant as one of the high-end consumer venues. Less than one of the most famous cute kids in the world, it is a must-visit for visitors to Brussels. It became a salvation hero of Belgium because of a urinary sensation, so it is no exaggeration to call it the whole Belgian male god. His statue is made of bronze and is 60 cm high. It was built in 1619 and is located at the corner of Constant Street and Oak Street in downtown Brussels. There is a special tour route in Brussels called "Manga Road". On a 6km tour route, you can find 44 wall comics hidden in many streets.

On the day of travel, I took the European Railway to Bruges from Brussels and took the initiative to take the Euro ticket to the ticket inspector. She said that I saw you getting on the bus. There is no need for a positioning fee. There are a lot of direct flights in one hour. There are a lot of tourists coming and going in the square along the way, you can buy some fresh strawberry tasting, as well as Belgian street food. Colorful houses, colorful food, and colorful views. The clock tower of Bruges overlooks the whole city. The colorful spire houses are coming and going. The horses carry the tourists from all over the world. The boats shuttle around the river and hungry for a 3 euro. The cake is topped with chocolate sauce and cream.
