The streets and alleys in Brussels are uneven, so you often have to zoom in to capture the flower decorations and the entire road. It's so beautiful. Look up and there is a cute mural, Tintin. Besides Tintin, there is also my beloved Smurf. The square was obviously beautiful, but there were already too many people and the sun was starting to set. I love the gorgeous and sparkly look. In addition to the peeing boy, there are also the peeing girl and the peeing puppy. The Art Hill is beautiful, but very hot. Then we walked all the way to the palace. The architecture here is also great. We passed by many institutions that I didn’t quite understand. The palace is being renovated. Walk out along the park in front, walk to the church, and walk to the peeing puppy. People really love to pee here. Let’s go back and take a look at the Grand Square. There are not many squares with such gorgeous and complete buildings on all four sides. It’s really beautiful. #Brussels #Manneken Pis #The Smurfs

#2024wish I stepped into a living Art Deco dream at Hotel van Eetvelde in Brussels! I love stained-glass butterflies flitting across ceilings, golden light as you enter. Walls shimmer with geometric patterns, furniture sings in jewel tones, every corner whispering a story of bygone glamour. Beyond its walls, Brussels' vibrant pulse beckons - trendy cafes, hidden galleries, and fashion that pops. Hotel van Eetvelde isn't just a museum, it's a time machine, a glamorous escape from the ordinary. Leave the mundane behind and lose yourself in its timeless elegance. It's a memory you'll savor long after 2023 fades, a whisper of luxury forever in your dreams. In 2024, I wish to go to Antwerp

#timetotravel The Congress Column in Brussels is a magnificent monument that stands as a testament to Belgium's rich history and its enduring spirit. As I gazed upon this iconic structure, I was immediately struck by its grandeur and the stories it represents. The column itself is a work of architectural art, adorned with intricate sculptures and reliefs that depict key moments in Belgian history. At its pinnacle stands a majestic bronze statue of King Leopold I. What truly sets the Congress Column apart is its role as a symbol of national unity and the ideals of democracy. It commemorates the National Congress of 1830-1831, which led to Belgium's independence. The Congress Column is a must-visit for history enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into the nation's past and its commitment to freedom and unity. It's a monument that reminds you of the enduring values that shape Belgium's identity. #belgium #bruxelles

#timetotravel #brussels #trip The heart of Europe. This city is historic and hip, bureaucratic and bizarre. Alluring, but without pretence. The capital of Europe, chocolate, comics and surrealism. Brussels is a special place. It does not take itself too seriously. Mainly distinguished by its bureaucratic tone (we are talking about the de facto capital of the European Union, after all), Brussels may be recognized for its business in the front, but its party-in-the-back attitude is progressively revealing its irreverently charming antics, shedding its serious disposition—and reserved reputation. After all, among the city’s slew of cathedrals, palaces, and castles—all dripping in history and ancient intrigue—is one of Brussels’s most undisputed national treasures: a mini bronze sculpture of a little boy peeing, known as the infamous Manneken Pis.

Grand Place, Brussels Address - Grote Markt, 1000 Brussel, Belgium Highlights - a UNESCO World Heritage Centre. It is so beautiful with its cobblestone streets, ancient cathedrals, flowered lamposts, quaint shops and restaurants. Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hey there! I recently took a trip to Brussels, and I must say it was a blast! The city has so much to offer, from its rich history to its vibrant culture. Here's a brief review of my experience in Brussels. First things first, let's talk about the famous "Pee Boy" statue - Manneken Pis. It's a small bronze statue of a little boy peeing into a fountain. It may sound weird, but it's actually a symbol of the city's sense of humor and quirky personality. It's a must-see attraction, and I have to admit, it's pretty hilarious. Moving on to the city center, it's a beautiful area with stunning architecture and plenty of things to see and do. The Grand Place is the central square and the heart of the city. It's surrounded by stunning buildings and at night it's illuminated with beautiful lights. The place comes to life with street performers, music, and vendors. It's definitely worth a visit. One of the things I loved about Brussels was the ease of getting around. The city has a great public transportation system, and the best part is that you can get free refills on your ticket for up to an hour! So, you can hop on and off buses, trams, and trains at your leisure. It's a great way to explore the city without breaking the bank. Another highlight of my trip was visiting the Comic Book Museum. Belgium is famous for its comic book culture, and this museum is a testament to that. The museum has a vast collection of comics, ranging from the classics to modern-day graphic novels. It's a great place to learn about the history of comics and their cultural significance in Belgium. Apart from these attractions, Brussels is also famous for its food and beer. I tried some amazing Belgian waffles, chocolate, and of course, their famous fries. And let's not forget about the beer - Belgium is known for its wide variety of delicious beers. I highly recommend trying some of the local brews. Overall, my trip to Brussels was fantastic. The city has a unique charm that sets it apart from other European cities. It's a great destination for anyone looking to explore a new culture and have a good time. So, if you're planning a trip to Europe, make sure to add Brussels to your list!#境外遊

Unique and delicious experience at Chez Leon - Bruxelles Situated in the city center this historical restaurant is specialized in mussels place. It is a must if you visit Bruxelles, most authentic which was founded in 1893. Reservation is recommended as the place is always busy. Must try the started which is a mix of fried fresh fish and obviously the mussels. The prawn croquette was a little surprise for me I didn't expect it to taste that good. The quality is really unbelievable and is as fair prices thinking the good food and the central location. Table inside and outside. We had lunch inside in a really romantic corner. Really nice to know kids under 12 don’t pay here which is something very unusual.Definitely good value for money. A special on sunday is the all you can eat mussels, unfortunately we couldn’t get there on this day but still we tried few versions of their famous speciality. According with their story at the beginning of 1989, the dynamic spirit of the Vanlancker successors came to fruition with the opening of a new Léon resturant in Brussels, in Bruparck, in the shadow of Atomium. Then, that same year, Léon was launched in France with the opening of 85 restaurants in twenty-five years. #belgium #europetrip #mussels #restaurant #foodie

This is suitable for toddlers as the activities will suit this group of kiddies. From Central Nord station, you can take tram no 3 to Station Docx Bruxsel (towards Esplanade). Next to Sports Direct and the large shopping complex, it was a good place for spending time with families. However, please do not expect the place to be large as other Legoland theme park.....it was small but enough for toddlers or younger kids to spend the whole day. Entrance per person was €25

Beautiful mural which can be seen while walking towards the Mannekin pis. Its quite easy to miss as the street is usually crowded. Brussels is covered with beautiful murals and you can start your hunt with this one. There are other mural arts which are very near by this location which is visible while walking on the road. The hunt for the wall paintings is a must when you are in brussels. The Tintin the very own comic picture from here is beautifully painted on the wall on the way from grand place. #urbanexplorer #awesomepic

The train station that looked very nice inside but wasn't very impressive outside. They used the type of wall paving stone that make it looked old and dirty if you look closer 😅😅 It give me impression of a meeting hall rather than a train station. Other thing it might be an issue that was the confusion with an airport supplement ticket that we didn't know about. The staff who were helping us were a bit rude and they look like scary but other than that it was okay. Brussels is not a safe place for me specially near the bus station a lot of mobs look very strange and yeah the place is messy a lot of trash with broken bottles. #urbanexplorer

It's amazing! A real work of art, engineering and architecture. I've always been amazed by it, but, unfortunately, I never got the chance to visit inside. Indeed a very unique building that was much bigger than I was expecting and visually stunning. Such an amazing building constructed over 70 years ago for the 58th Expo. looking at it just makes me think of the architect who designed this majestic building with all those different dome towers. Imagine how much effort was put into connecting them. It still looks very shinny to me. I believe a lot of maintenance has been done to it to keep this fresh look. #urbanexplorer #valentinescape
