Brussels is a mix of tradition, modernity, politics, power and lots of fun.
Everyone has to visit the Grand-Place, which has been voted the most beautiful square in Europe on several occasions.
It has many buildings with gold accents. Brussels is the seat of the European Union and has always been the scene of many disputes and wars.
It is a city with many immigrants, approximately 30% of the population is not Belgian. Most of the immigrants are Muslims and this is very visible in local merchants and stores.
One of Belgium’s well-known products is chocolate, so I spent a whole day just enjoying this delicacy. It has countless stores and types of chocolate.
Walking around the city I found a church with priests and people from Brazil.
Well, my stay in Belgium ends here now towards London.
Bruges is a small, bucolic town with lots of parks. I loved staying a few days in tranquility.
Cycling is wonderful, as there is a bike path everywhere. The city has many cozy restaurants, bars etc.
It is not a city for hustle and bustle but to rest and enjoy every moment.
As I was close to the sea, I couldn’t leave and get to know it, my original plan would be to go by bicycle, as it is only 15 km, but the ease and comfort of the train is much better, because besides not making much effort, it is cheaper and enjoy more time on the beach.
So I went to spend the day at Blankenberge.
After these days of peace, tranquility and rest, it is time to return to the hustle and bustle of big cities.
Now towards Brussels.
