Recommendations for Those Going to Brussels, Belgium
One of the places you must visit in Brussels is the European Parliament Building. If you want to get information, you can visit the Parlamentarium, located right next to the building, where entrance is free.
We also recommend going early in the morning as there are sometimes long queues at the entrance, and those who don't want to wait in line can go early.
For lunch, you can go to Brussels' famous square, Grand Palace. In the square, where you have many options, you can drink Brussels beers, eat French fries, and if you fancy something sweet, you can top it off with a waffle. Before leaving the square, don't forget to see the Manneken Pis, known as the Peeing Boy Statue, which is within walking distance.
You can wander through the colorful streets of the city, where Flemish and Walloon cultures dominate, and relax in its parks. Seafood lovers can try Brussels-style mussels for dinner, one of the first foods that come to mind when Brussels is mentioned. Le Chou de Bruxelles is one of the most famous and highly recommended restaurants for Brussels-style mussels.
You can take a train from Brussels and reach Ghent, another Belgian city, in about half an hour.
