Discover Brussels

From a bird's eye view, the city's landscape is covered with stylish buildings, unique architectural ensemble, and of course the distinctly Belgian landmark, the Atomium. It was my first glimpse of Brussels, Belgium’s capital. This city is the best for tourists who simply want to experience not just Belgian chocolate, but the luxury and distinct character of any European city.

There are a lot of things that made my trip to Brussels extra special. It wasn't because I had a great seafood lunch at the L'Ane Vert, a local restaurant located at Rue Royale Ste Marie but because this city is a fusion of nothing but the best about northern culture. It was a 5-night vacation that I will forever cherish. Just the thought of the room at Hôtel Métropole where I stayed in makes me want to come back. The hotel was somewhat antique since it was built in the late 1900s; the lobby greeted me with enchanting Belgian crystal chandeliers lighting up the marble walls carved with Renaissance designs.

On my second day, I craved for Belgian chocolate so my guide took me to Pierre Marcolini to find some of the worlds most expensive pralines. It wasn't long when we headed to the Grand Place to do some ice skating. It's by far the best ice skating rink I’ve seen in my life. There were too many things that i enjoyed doing in Brussels. It was worth the money that I've spent.
