For lovers of small weekend for two, getaways friends or a solo escape, Brussels is a good choice for a change. We too often underestimate the potential of "exoticism" of neighboring countries. While in Brussels speak French, but Walloon, German, Dutch, English, English, etc. ... The mix of this city is impressive and guarantees a real disorientation. This mixture of cultures can sometimes make you forget that French is spoken in the shops!
The architectural style varied from Brussels is a reflection of its diverse population. If the city is known to be a European capital of Art Nouveau art movement it also combines Art Deco-style buildings and modern. From the Grand Place and its small alleys, the Marolles district, through the modern buildings of the European Quarter, the visitor changes each time landscape. It has existed since 1991 a special tour for fans of comic strips that provides a score of frescoes painted on the facades of the city by famous artists such as Edgar P. Jacobs, Franquin, Geluck ... We can visit Brussels through an artistic route that is also found with its underground metro stations decorated with modern and contemporary. For the more adventurous or the most lazy, the ideal is to move through the maze of tramway lines in the capital, which saves considerable time!
As in many parts of northern Europe, human warmth takes over from the cold and damp climate. Here, rain and smile are not incompatible, far from it. Whether you stroll through downtown to the surrounding areas where we find the generosity and sympathy of their inhabitants.
cultural richness Brussels does not let its people get bored. Between concerts, festivals and exhibitions, the tourist, like Brussels, is spoiled for choice. Among the many museums in the city it is advisable to visit one priority of musical instruments (MIM), which offers the discovery of hundreds of instruments arranged on four floors. The visitor explores different times, equipped with infrared headphones that gives the sound of each instrument on display. To do so to please the eyes and ears.
Although the Belgian cuisine is known for its French fries can be surprised by the flavor of certain dishes like fritters shrimp or a traditional soup with his bread and butter. It goes without saying that you can decorate the whole by the 680 Belgian beers available! Among them is retained mainly the variety of Trappist or Gueuze. To discover the authentic Gueuze with raspberry or cherry without added flavors, a trip to the Cantillon brewery is a must. Always On, this brewery is one of the few to follow the natural process of making beer. After an open house in different rooms, which still works great machines mainly made of copper, one end our tour with a tasting Gueuze taste so special.
For the sweet tooth, the temptation will be constantly on your way. There are countless confectionery, biscuits and chocolate and of course with a mixed biscuit, waffles and chocolate flavors very original. If you want a free stay flat, you'd better avoid the Chocolate Museum whose entry is expensive for a demonstration uninteresting and expeditious route that will leave a bitter disappointment.
few days suffice to attach to Brussels and its cosmopolitan atmosphere. Culture lovers will be delighted by the richness of this city that lets you see and share. Walkers will never tire of wandering the flea market instead of the Game Bale and wander the streets nearby. Partygoers will always find a friendly pub with a delicious Belgian beer. Brussels, compact metropolis, shines by its history, modernity, openness and culture.
