Thank you for your content this is very helpful information I will be there in about two weeks and had no idea what to do! Thank you for a great guide!
Great vlog. We're planning on going in Jan so this came at the right time. Definitely putting Atomium and Galet on the list? If Simon loves Asterix have you guys ever been to Parc Asterix just outside of Paris? It's a brilliant theme park. When we went a few years ago you could get a transfer from Charles de Gaulle x
Aww thank you so much, hope you have a fab time in January!!! We have never been there no, is it good?? We should look into this next time we're in Paris!!!
Loved learning about Brussels. Who knew that mussels could have some many different ways to be made. We actually have a Neuhaus in Dallas. I have not been in years, but now I want to go buy some chocolates. Your tour guide was so knowledgeable. Loved his insider tips on all the best foods. Those pee statues are very unique for sure. How did I not know the Smurf’s are from Brussels? Sorry about the hotel; too bad it was not the best.
Amazing that you have a Neuhaus! Such delicious chocolate! Thank you so much for catching up on my videos, hope they helped pass the time and your rom coms of course haha :)
That was fun! Thanks for the tour! Someday we'd love to try real Belgian Waffles, too! Here in the southwest U.S. we top our homemade breakfast waffles with butter and maple syrup OR have them as a dessert with whipped (Chantilly) cream and sliced macerated strawberries and powdered (icing) sugar. What do you top your waffles with when you make them at home?
Glad you enjoyed the vlog!! Thank you for watching! We don't eat waffles at home at all! Yours sounds lovely! Hopefully you get to try the real deal one day!
Thank you so much! Yeah the walking tour and Atomium can be done on the same day. The comic book tour is separate though we only saw that Tin Tin one on the walking tour. We just walked to the comic strips we wanted to see :)
The comic you didn't knew is Called Lucky Luke. Greats from Brugge. (Btw free Guided tours are great, but they are not official Guides, (in Bruges they aren't..) official Bruges Guides have to do An 3years course on the history of Bruges, and the guide from the free tours has not done that, ... Just something to consider when you go for a tour the next time...
Manneke pis actually represents the soul of the Belgians. It's hard to explain but we allways have the underdog mentallity. We feel little compared to the Big important countries that surround us. Just like the smurfs are little in a big world. Same thing. People expect something Grandious but in reality it's just a little image of a boy doing a very common but unexpecting thing. After all surrealism as an artform is typicly Belgian.That is the charm. That is l'esprit Belge. Another way to explain it is little jappy dogs. They are small and not suitable for much of anything like herding catle or garding property but they are the cutest funniest and receive the most love from their humans.
@@aclaireytale No I must thank you because I watch a lot of videos about how people react to my country. Remember we feel little but deep down we want to be recognised not loved not feared not admired just recognised. And You allmost did so I subscribed.
The Atomium and the Manneken Pis aren't worth seeing. So that just leaves the Grand Place the only place in Brussels worth seeing. A whole weekend in Brussels? Why? Go to Bruges.
Great blog. Love seeing around Brussels and all the delicious food etc another great blog 🌻
Aw thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the vlog!!
Brussels also has a lot of concert venues, from quite small to huge. And lots of great musea and parks.
Yes we will be back for sure! Thanks for watching!

Hi great vlog doing the tour and atomium can be done in one day? Do you see many of the comic book painted buildings on the tour?
Thank you so much! Yeah the walking tour and Atomium can be done on the same day. The comic book tour is separate though we only saw that Tin Tin one on the walking tour. We just walked to the comic strips we wanted to see :)
