Brusells, belgium - vol charme van de oude wereld

---

Brussels is the capital of Belgium and the Defacto capital of the EU.  Although the three most common languages spoken here are Dutch, German and French, there are seven other languages commonly used.  Traces of humankind go back to the Stone Age .  While Brussel sprouts became popular crops here in the 16th Century, Belgium is also known for waffles and chocolates. 

The city meanders through cobbled stone streets with road construction or repair seemingly at every turn.  Though that seems like it would be annoying, it's actually part of the charm of this old world city.  Very much like the hustle and bustle of New York, Brussels has great shopping and dining as well as some pretty fantastic architecture.

1. I went to Brussels in December and let me tell you, their Christmas markets can't be beat.  A must see 2. Visit the Grand Place.  Gorgeous architecture and history.  

3. Walk the Parc du Cinquantenaire.  Beautiful grounds along with the Museum of Art and History.

4. See the famous Gild Houses, these 29 houses were built in the Flemish Baroque style and are adorned with sculptures and statues.

5. National Basilica of The Sacred Hearts ranks 5th among the world's largest churches.

6. Tintin Mural Paintings cover a 3 mile stretch of the walking comic trail.  Fun for the whole family.

7. Taking a chocolate making workshop and/or a Belgium beer tour.

We attended a chocolate making class and it was so fun and yummy!  Seriously, recommend.  We booked our tickets through Viator and landed on 2-hour workshop.  Our instructor was super sweet, helpful and entertaining.  And the chocolates?  DELICIOUS! <chef's kiss>
