Museums, beer and politics

The historic part of Brussels is over 1000 years old, putting a lot of history on one’s place in just one day. With so much history its surprising that Brussels is easily discovered in a couple of days. The historic centre is made up of a number of concentric ring roads. There used to be, at one point, a river through the city but it was buried in the nineteenth century. In the middle of the central ring you’ll find the city’s most famous sights including the Porte de Hal and the place de la Chapelle, Palais de Justice and the basilica. If you have a few days spend one in the historic centre and then the rest discovering the uptown squares and museums.

Brussels is known for a few things besides being the capital of Europe. It excels at waffles, chocolate, French fries, Brussels sprouts, and of course a number of different types of beer. Don’t leave without trying the typical lambic beer that is only brewed in this area, a street waffle, and moules frites (mussels and French fries). As for souvenirs, bring beer for the guys and chocolates for the girls. Originally Dutch speaking, now French is what the street talks but there is some tension on the subject. This city is a place where split personalities thrive. It embraces the seriousness of its business district and politics while staying up all night in cafés and photographing architecture on 35mm film. The locals are casual and enjoy themselves in outdoor patios when the weather is warm.
