Brussels was a nice, relaxing stop during our European backpacking trip (June 16 - August 25th). It was somewhat toward the end of our trip so we needed a few days to stop and taste, ehem...smell the chocolate.
If you are a lover of opulent architecture and have a fierce eye for detail you will love Brussels. The architecture spans from medieval to post modern, which the jewel being the gothic Grand Place.
More architecture from around the city:
I still can't believe how many bikes are in this lot - look how far back they go!
