ฝัง

- Bussels is located in the heart of Belgium and is the country's capital and largest city. Not only is it an administrative, commercial, and financial hub, it is also considered the “capital of Europe”. This is because the headquarters of the European Union can be found here. The city itself is bilingual, which means that both Flemish and French are widely spoken. And although Brussels may not have the star tourist attractions of other Belgian towns, the capital has many things to do to keep travelers occupied for a couple of days. From world-class museums and art galleries to wonderful remnants of old architecture. In this video, we highlight the 10 highlights in Brussels!

I was born and raised in Brussels. I have lived and worked in Brussels. It is my favorite place in the world. I have watched many vlogger's guides to Brussels and most of them were mediocre at best. This vlog however is exactly spot on and is the perfect guide for first-time visitors and recommends perfectly the things to see and do. Well done!!!
Thanks for the kind words! ☺️☺️☺️ it’s a lovely city and we always visit when we’re back in Belgium!
I’m going to Brussels in October as my first stop on a trip to Belgium and Germany. Everyone seems to give this city a miss as they believe it’s too boring so they go through it on the train between Paris and Amsterdam. If I’m honest Brussels looks more appealing to me than Amsterdam
what was it like ? @@tomhill3205
Wow 😊Brussels Belgium 🇧🇪 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
First time seeing a positive video about my lovely country. It makes me happy
Being from Belgium myself, I think we have some great historic cities and delicious food to offer!
North Korea
@noizy
So beautifully done, perfect music and the best views of the cities. Ahhhhh, let's go travel! Thank you.
Thank you! 😊
Woah this is the first time I’ve heard about this place! Great video!! ❤️
Brussels is a fun city! Sadly, most people skip it when visiting Europe. But we believe it deserves a couple days at least on anyones Euro tour! 👍
Great descriptions and interesting places, ready to heading to Brussels ... Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Have fun ☺️
Just wanted to say thanks for a very informative video. Headed to Brussels in April and this came in very handy! Safe travels! 🌎✌️
Thanks! ☺️ have a great trip! We’ll be around again in April as well (family lives so close)
Bring your Rose tinted glasses and stab proof vest.
I hope Brussels will bring you good memories
Very lovely place I have never seen such a place in my life and I wish to go and see this place and thanks to you we can watch this place in video sitting at home.💗
A great help. Thank you ❤
Glad it’s helpful!
This video is all that you need! Thank you so much. I will be in Belgium this June. I will most definitely try out all your food recs and the places.
Enjoy!!
Coming to Brussels to study next week and this video is a blessing!
That’s awesome! Glad it was helpful and have a great time in Brussels 😌
@@worldwildhearts Thank you! I definitely will
Very informative and to the point.
حفظك الله عيد مبارك سعيد وكل عام وانتم بخير
Thank you!!
Brussels looks like a fun city to check out! Thanks for the good summary and info:)
Yes Brussels is definitely a must-visit when in Belgium! ☺️
I just came back from Brussels early this month. It's such a charming place and Grand Place is so spectacular.
Thank You for this video.
Thanks for watchingv
❤❤❤❤ its amazing city❤ first time I see a positive video about my favorite place😊❤
Glad you liked it! People who don't like Brussels just don't know it well enough or haven't spend enough time there
I lived in Belgium for 7 years and used to jog at the Cinquantenaire Park every weekend :)
Visiting Atomium and the nearby tourist attractions, and trying out Belgian fries with Andalouse or Samurai sauce is definitely a must!
You lived the good life there 🥰
Your recommendations are great! I was impressed with the Belgian fries
excellent video, thank you
Thanks for watching ☺️
Geniet nog van jullie reizen.
Danku! ☺️
This was awesome. I’m more excited to go after watching this.
Have a great trip! ☺️ we love Brussels and if you wait for a few more weeks, the Christmas market will start! 🎅
Same
So beautiful
I love Brussels so much and is so underrated…
Totally agree!
Yes, it is an underrated city compared to London, Paris, Milan. I lived there for two months and I always have a high opinion of the city
@@RachelSu-pu6fn That’s two more months than me with Brussels.
Im very impressed.one day iam visit that place.
I would love to go there, very impressive
Hope you will!
wow sooo nice
Hi its nice video you Made its Really beautiful and Clear clean regard from france 🇫🇷 xxx
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Coming to Brussels next month for a meeting with the EU and hope to have some time to experience the lovely city!!
Hope you enjoyed your time in Brussels!
World Wild Hearts, we are brilliant, noble and strong together.
Why would you only stay one day or half a day in Brussels and go to Ghent or Bruges ? You could stay a week in Brussels and not see everything. There are beautiful parks, museums, concerts, great restaurants, fancy clothing shops etc
I agree with your statement
Calm down!, was it time of the month when you made comment
Because we have family commitments, jobs, school, limited budget, there are 1000s of other places to see on our bucket lists, etc…. Think for just a few seconds before you post.
I loved Brussels!!!!
Awesome! ☺️
So nice 😊
This is amazing country
Thanks guys for this lovely video. However, I want to make a correction about the beer tasting place. Delirium Cafe doesn’t do the beer tasting in 10 glasses. It’s Delirium village which does it.
The cherry beer is so good, also there is a chip shop near maneken pis called Friterie Tabora it's yummy!
Yeah belgian food and beer is great! Glad you liked it! 😄
awesome video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Brussels is awesome

Vers Nice.
Thanks 😊
5:46 The fans of Stromaé will recognise this place where he made his MV of "Fils de joie"😉 and you forgot to mention "La becasse" (verry near the grand place) where they make and serv the verry last brussels beer name "la lambic" it a flat beer serv in a pitcher (only in that café and no bottle)
Thanks for the extra info! Never heard of La Becasse, but we'll definitely check it out next time we're in Brussels! (which is probably summer!!)
I just booked a trip to Belgium in May! I was invited to attend the finals of the queen Elisabeth international violin competition!! My friend is one of the jury members and she invited me to attend. So excited! We plan to stay there for a week. We will probably attend one or 2 competition concerts. I am so happy that you mentioned Bruge. A friend of mine told me she will take us there. I am so happy you mentioned Bruge. It sounded familiar to me. I imagine it's ok to dress as I would dress in the US? Just jeans and a shirt, and a nice pair of sneakers, etc?
Thank you for the video!
That's exciting! You can definitely do some day trips from Brussels as well if you have a week. Ghent is another nice city to visit! You can definitely just dress comfortably for traveling just like the US. Not sure if a concert would have a stricter dress code! Some places that are a bit more fancy do want you to dress nicely
@@worldwildhearts Thank you! Some group of friends who live in Brussels and Germany said they are taking us to Bruge and Paris. I did not expect this at all. So overjoyed 😂. Thank you for your reply! ♥️
@@waterliliesbymonet7827Wow, you are going to see Paris as well ! That's awesome ! Can't speak for Belgium yet, as I will be probably visiting in July (that's why I'm at this link 😁), but Paris is amazing ! Have a nice trip !
@@di7787 Thank you! My trip is now extended to Germany and Switzerland in addition to Paris. My friends went crazy and they insisted on doing this and I had to extend my trip to 10 days. I am the luckiest.😭 Have a safe trip! ♥️
66 days left till May 1st 2024.
Bruges is one of the most magnificent places I have ever been to, and I believe that right now in the fall it is even more so. The city's medieval character, the hot chocolate, the peace, and everything else makes you feel as though you are in a movie.
The fall is magical when the weather holds up nicely! Unfortunately, it's quite rainy during this time of the year. But yes, a very medieval city!
@@worldwildhearts op😊
@@worldwildheartswhy is that unfortunate? Rain is needed to refill fresh water supplies and for nature and agriculture, animals etcetc
You are in a movie, it's called "In Bruges"
thx for this video...i'm going to europe for a couple of months and i'm skipping this area.
Haha why skip?
Very good video😊 Do we need to book a visite in the parlamentarium or are we allowed to go there without a registration?😅
You need to register! But it’s free. I think it’s just a safety measure for the parliament
Thank you for your great video. Where do you suggest to buy chocolate as a local and which brands are your first three favorites? 😅
As a local, I usually buy Leonidas chocolates... they're a bit cheaper and my family and I love the mix of delicious pralines. Neuhaus and Godiva are also pretty good, but more expensive. The pralines of Cote d'Or that you can find in the local supermarket are also delicious, but they don't have the nice presentation as the other brands with their fancy boxes
Thank you so much for your honest opinion. I am happy that I just tried Cote d'Or (pralines version with yellow cover) which was really amazing. So I consider our tastes similar to each other ahaha. Thank you so much and you have the best vlogs in Belgium. Keep going on :)@@worldwildhearts
Silly question but does the background song has a name? It was very relaxing!
You can find the music credits in the description below the video! We name all the music
Cant find time to visit belgium. Must wait 4 next year
Absolutely!

I'm born in Brussels IM BELGIAN
Hi there 👋
What’s the other fries place? Not antoine one
Frit Flagey: maps.app.goo.gl/uShuMpCLmguWbe4d8?g_st=ic
What to do in Brussels : go to Bruges or Ghent : Hah..that was funny ;-)
Well it's worth visiting more places in Belgium than just Brussels! Many visitors just base themselves in one city or just stay in Brussels, which is a shame!
1. I find Brussels monuments way more beautiful than Bruges / Ghent facadisme: Les arcades du Cinquantenaire, the various palaces (including Royal palaces and African Museaum in Tervuren), serres royales de Laeken, monuments built by Leopold II
2. Brussels has a lower valley and upper plains part so it's easy to admire the historical center may it be from Mont des Arts, Place Poelaert or even from the Basilica where you can see the Northern district skyline
3. I don't see the point of adding Ghent and Bruges in a Brussels video. Only Bruges/ Ghent Tourism Authorities would do such a thing
We weren't sponsored by any tourism authority. But out of our own experience (and travelers we met who visited Belgium), lots of travelers only stay in Brussels and use it as a base to travel to other places as well. That's why we added that it's possible as a day trip!
fact! The low brussels is built on a marsh
@@worldwildhearts It's impossible visit brugge and, or Gent on a daytrip base, makes no sence, if you have no time than not recomendid, running by an old building? eat, have a beer eat chocolat and of you go to the trainstation, waiste of time. There is sooo much to do ex. find the oldest café's, some hidden like 'a la becasse", tour guides, you mis allot when you do it on your own, art in churches, old masters mus.and many many more ,go to the fleemarket in the "marollen" shoppers to louisa lane, if the only intrest is beer fries and chocolat than is brussels quickly boring.ps. be carefully with beer, imposible to try them all.
Don't forget the wonderfull Park of ter Hulpen/ Parc de la Hulpe with the three wonderfull séquoias given by thé Président of the U.S.A. to thé kingdom for his crucial help to defeat Germany and Japan during World War.
La Hulpe is a little more than 10 minutes trains or car from brussels.
Great recommendation! Thanks for adding it in the comments for others to see 🙏😊
@@worldwildhearts 😉
I will fly from Brisbane australia to Brussels and stay for maybe 4 days than Eurostar to Paris.
That's awesome! Make sure to visit beyond Brussels as well if you're staying 4 days! Maybe a little day trip to Bruges or Ghent! It's easily accessible by train as well
Habibi come to Dubai
Would love to! Someday soon 👍
only for belgium people special offer
How about health care? Is it free?
Not if you're visiting lol
Belgium has three official languages. Dutch is spoken by 60% of the population, French 39%, and German 1%
💖🫂
Be warned bc things suddenly will go wrong there there’s ghosts live there. Very spooky
Bro was correct
🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪
If I want to go to these places, is it practical to finish in 3 days and 2 kids?😂
I think if you manage your time well its possible! Most attractions are near each other, so you can easily walk between them. Some others, like the Atomium, will require a bit more time as you have to take public transportation to get there
I like Brussels, but Antwerpen is better for me.)
Antwerp is cool as well! But we prefer Brussels actually 😁 Shows how personal tastes can be very different!
Antwerp is larger ah ezel
Huh?
Things to do in Brussels, go to Bruges and Ghent😂
Really, the only place worth seeing in Brussels is the Grand Place, and so you only need about an hour to see all that's worth seeing in Brussels, so it is best visited as a stop on your way to Bruges or somewhere more interesting.
Especially if you are non-white in which case you best not venture from the Grand Place.
Brussels is just as great as Amsterdam or Paris. Lots of things to do and see. Off course, there are parts of town you want to avoid, especially if you are on your own or you are a woman. Stay away from station Brussels North and South and Molenbeek. The center is pretty safe, even at night.
How do you identify which parts are safe and which are not?
Just trust your feeling. The parts of town I mentioned, I wouldn't visit in the evening, not even as a man and in company.@@briannaberlin6851
What to do in Brussels, go to bruges or Ghent: Hah..that was funny.
Any no-go zones in the city?
Don’t go to Molenbeek, Gare du midi (south Brussels station), Rue d’Aerschot, and the north train station. The touristic center is fine, just always keep an eye on your belongings! 😄
@@worldwildhearts Thanks! Brussels is on the bottom of the list according to some EU's city safety lists.
I guess its all about illegal inmigration.
7:49 Many different cultures and backgrounds but you love to see there are trolls where ever you go. "Joe Mama Deez Nuts on your face" lolz
I shall skip #9
So there’s nothing in Belgium?
Depends on what you enjoy 😊
Nothing to do or see in bruxelles. Belgium is shit. Go direct to France or Germany. Much better things to do and see.
Are we all gonna ignore the fact that Belgium committed genocide in Congo and other countries in Africa? Very cruel people
