Travel Info I have a layover in Brussels from about 4pm on a Monday night until 7am Tuesday morning. What will I have time to do? Where should I stay? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Travel Tips i was born in brussels and left there 20 years. i just moved out 6months ago so I can tell you a lot of places. 1. you should go in the center of brussels to see monuments, the Grand place, Manneken pis,... there is a lot of small streets close to there. 2. if you like shopping you should go to "louise" which is very good 3. if you like nigth clubs, i'm sorry nothing is open on monday nigth! or you can go to WWW.NETEVENTS.BE and check every events, parties,... the nigth when you're there. It migth have something to do. 4.dont forget to eat chocolates, waffles,... and try some beers... if you wanna have more info, email me! have fun Others i went to an awesome italian restaurant, and of course i cant remember where the hell it was. when i was there i just basically got lost and walked around.... damn that really doesnt help u out much, sorry. Brussels is a pretty small city. It's famous for a little statue in the centre of the city called the Mannequin Pis (yep - really is a statue of a little boy/cherub taking a leak.) The best thing about Brussels and Belgium however is the beer. Often brewed by trappist monks - try Leffe and any of the fantastic fruit beers. Moules et frites is the national dish (mussels and fries) and are served with mayonnaise. Asking for ketchup can be met with surprise. Whatever you do - have fun. Personal experience. There is a small section of the city that I would dub the "old City". It has a bunch of outdoor restaurants and tables for drinking. It is pretty nice. It is close to the status of the little boy peeing. I would go there and drink good beer. There are sampler beer specials and I did that and it was awesome. Also eat lots of chocolate. I would definitely stay in the city center so you can be near the action. Might be a little bit more expensive - but you will get more bang for your buck. If you're a hostel type - I'm sure there is a hostel. Visit Brussels old town with a walking tour of the old city. Continue past Town Hall and St. Hubert Gallerie, wind down Butchers' Street and visit the Manneken-Pis. For recommendations on a walking tour of the city check out http://www.gettingaway.com/directory/eur... Walking is a great way to experience a city - especially only when you have a short time there. You will be able to get the flavor and feel and decide if you want to return one day. The museums are closed on Mondays - so can't visit those. Check out http://www.ricksteves.com/plan/destinati... Don't forget to drink a beer and eat some chocolate! |
