Its the center of the EU, lots of cool and official buildings.
Beer and Chocolate.
Very diverse city.
Our first view of the city wasn't the prettiest one, and in fact Brussels is not a pretty city in any great regard. But beside those things lifted above, I discovered that the plaza ( which is surrounded by Baroque style ornate buildings, which are such beauties !! ) and the official areas of government are great treasures of the city. After lack of sleep in Amsterdam and for fear that our legs would turn to jelly, our group decided to rest more whilst in Brussels. Because of this action, we were able to meet and dine with people from our hostel then follow that with a great Valentines night .
The next day was touring of sites and such. Brussels isn't the biggest city and doesn't have the greatest attractions but simply meandering about gives one great pleasure in itself. Saw the pissing boy, the government buildings, the best view of the city, and ate loads of loads of chocolate, given to us freely by shop workers. Later that night we headed to Delirium. Which is just a must visit if you're in Brussels. In the same strip of town as Delirium are other venues that seemed just as grand.
Last morning , found a great flea market then re-explored sites.
Honestly, Brussels was not a favorite but i enjoyed the treasures we found in the city.
Met some great people, as well, whom i will never see again.
Thus is Life.
Treasures
fail.
