Brussels is a terrific walking city.  It’s funky, it’s gothic, and the mussels and beer just cannot be beat.  Have a Belgian waffle and bring some chocolate home with you.  In many ways it is much different than Paris.  English is widely spoken.  For Brussels tourist info, including a map, try this link: http://www.visitbelgium.com

Here are my recommendations for things to see and do in Brussels:

Grand Place (aka Grote Markt):  I love to promenade around the grandest of all squares in Europe.  It is surrounded by guild houses, the Hôtel de Ville, and the Musée de la Ville.  Each time I visit I discover something new.

Mannekin Pis:  This is an irreverent statue of a young boy doing his business.  It is certainly not in the class of the Eiffel Tower, but it might  be Brussels most famous landmark.  Have a chuckle, take a snapshot, and move on.

Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts (Royal Museums of Fine Arts): This is a fine collection of mostly Belgian art, both historical and contemporary.  There are works by such well-known artists as  Rubens, Van Dyck, and  Rembrandt.  Website:  http://www.fine-arts-museum.be/site/EN

Chocolate:  While strolling the streets off the Grand Place notice the chocolate boutiques sprinkled about. Don’t hesitate to sample the goods but don’t overdo it, save some room for a Belgian waffle and mussels and beer later.  You can always bring some chocolate back to Paris.

Mussels and Beer:  Beer is a high art form in Belgium.  It is only enhanced when it is paired with mussels (moules) and twice-fried fries (frites).  My little slice of heaven for this delight is La Villette.  Website:  http://www.la-villette.be
