Beautiful City
This was my first visit to Brussels and oh boy, was I fascinated by its charm and lovely sights. The old town is a magical combination of gold painted historical building with classic European and gothic architecture. The city streets were adorned by some amazing small stores and shops which sold a variety of stuff ranging from food to souvenirs to clothes and whatnot. I have had better experiences in terms of interaction with people in other European cities, but it was amazing nonetheless.

Who needs to say more about Brussels. Next to London, Paris, Saint Peterburg one of the most fascinating cities in the world.

We were only here for the day but we saw the grand square and went to the coffin bar (le cercueil).
