Brussels, The Capital

Brussels is the capital of Belgium and the administrative heart of the European Union. Finally, I could make plans to visit this incredible city with diverse culture and famous landmarks.

The hotel is located right in the city centre, so after check-in I immediately went out to see what is going on in the city.

I was so happy to find myself in such a beautiful location, so I even started dancing on the floor. But unfortunately, I was hungry and not able to continue it any longer.

Here are the famous Belgium French fries. It is cooked from the fresh potatoes and tastes very delicious. The large portion is good enough to wait for the main dish at the evening.

The main square of Brussels, known as Grand Place, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. It has been the city's central market and gathering place since the 12th century and is surrounded by opulent buildings that reflect Brussels' rich history, including the Town Hall and the King's House.

A distinctive feature of the architectural design here are the golden decorations on the buildings. They are symbolizing wealth and prestige and often representing the trade or craft of the guilds that once operated there.

And of course a little statue of a pissing boy "The Manneken Pis", made of bronze, 61cm tall. Interestingly, over the years, the statue has been dressed in a wide variety of costumes, often reflecting Belgian culture, holidays, and events. And today it was the costume of a graduate.

The dinner was at the traditional restaurant. The unlimited ribs. The most tasty is the first portion, and I was almost full after finishing it. So, the next two portions were not necessary, but you know, money were paid.

At the end of the day I have had my favourite Belgium beer, Orval, which is one of the best Trappist beers in the world. It is a kind of Pale Ale, known for its complex flavors that include a balance of bitterness and fruitiness, with a distinctive earthy taste. Remarkably, the beer undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle. Recommend it! Still, if you do not like it at first time, give it another chance later. 

Brussels is an amazing city with good vibe. I am sure, tomorrow will be another positive experience and another pleasant emotions.
