Next part of Brussels

Hello again,

Today I will tell you the next part of my trip to Brussels.

In the first part, I showed you the European district. Today I want to show you the old town and all the sightseeing highlight of Brussels.

We started with the Mini-Europe, which is situated in the old expo area, at the foot of the Atomium. It is a park where mini cities of all European countries are shown. You can discover almost all great sightseeing’s of Europe in an hour. Definitely worth it. Unfortunatelly, Poland wasn't shown favorably. Next to the expo area and Mini-Europe is the famous Atomium. It is a museum located on the Heysel Plateau. The top sphere includes a restaurant with panormaic view of Brussels. A nice place to take pictures in front of it and a typical sign of Brussels. This part of Brussels is located a little bit outside the city centre. After taking pictures in front of the Atomium we went to the center.  The famous “Grand Place” with the Cityhall and the Old town around is really nice. Very old and classic buildings and architecture and of course a lot of Belgian waffles and chocolates. You have to taste them! After a little break for those delicious Belgian snacks, we went through the little streets of the Old town to the “Palais”. On the way out of the old town you have a nice view above the whole city while you are walking the steps to the palais. Next to the palais is the Brussels City Park. A nice place to chill after an excited day of exploring Brussels. 

Summarized I was positive surprised. I didn´t expect that Brussels had so much to offer. The old town, the European district and the old expo area are three totally different but very interesting and nice places in Brussels. Every European (or not only) should go there and see all of them. 

I hope you enjoyed it and I cannot wait to tell you the next story of my travels across the world!
