The streets and alleys in Brussels are uneven, so you often have to zoom in to capture the flower decorations and the entire road. It's so beautiful. Look up and there is a cute mural, Tintin. Besides Tintin, there is also my beloved Smurf. The square was obviously beautiful, but there were already too many people and the sun was starting to set. I love the gorgeous and sparkly look. In addition to the peeing boy, there are also the peeing girl and the peeing puppy. The Art Hill is beautiful, but very hot. Then we walked all the way to the palace. The architecture here is also great. We passed by many institutions that I didn’t quite understand. The palace is being renovated. Walk out along the park in front, walk to the church, and walk to the peeing puppy. People really love to pee here. Let’s go back and take a look at the Grand Square. There are not many squares with such gorgeous and complete buildings on all four sides. It’s really beautiful. #Brussels #Manneken Pis #The Smurfs

I recommend their spareribs a volonte. You can refer to the picture I posted. You can have as much spareribs as you want! But I was full after eating one and a half. I really recommend this one! The Galleria Saint-Hubert is also a great place to buy lots of chocolates! I recommend Mary’s chocolate. Although it’s a little expensive, it’s really delicious no matter what you buy! ! I bought 2 boxes at that time haha ​​😆 The peeing boy is smaller than expected, but it is also a good place to check in, and there are also delicious foods nearby 🙏🏻 The above is a brief summary of my two-day visit ~ these are places I think are worth visiting!

Once there, you are surrounded by Baroque guildhalls of the former Guilds of Brussels, the Town Hall, and the neo-Gothic Broodhuis (Bread House) where the Museum of the City of Brussels is located There are lots of (perhaps overpriced) cafes and restaurants but nonetheless offering excellent views of the square.

Perhaps another reason to return to this beautiful capital city. #brussels #belgium
