"Scarlie's Brussels Notes" Brussels by Scarlie
Brussels Travel Guide: 5,565 reviews and 11,826 photos
I've been living in Brussels for a number of years now and can't think of another place I'd like to be based. It is very cosmopolitan (you don't have to speak anything but English, altho French, Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian will also get you where you want to go) but also very manageable -- you can cross downtown in about 20 mins on foot.
- Pros:Multicultural, multilingual, small and manageable; architecture
- Cons:cramped at times; construction; driving manners (argh, argh, argh!) and traffic jams
- In a nutshell:love it!!

Nice page. Ciao!
thanks for the tips - I hope I find Les Brasseurs
A place better looking round than eating. Plenty of better places to eat (and better value) nearby.
I m glad to know that you are fond of good quality food. Have u ever tried Pakistani food ? Cheers, Umer.
hey found you through Amina's mail :) dancing on tables!!! I loved it but some ppl were not stable and fell into (on?) your glas `-) Nice pictures of Brussels!
Good restaurants tips, Nina! You like tapas? You should try the Tapas Locas! *;o)*
