A Sunday afternoon in Brussels

by shrimp56 - last update: Oct 15, 2004

After a weekend in Brugge I took the train to Brussels the night before my flight back to Chicago.
I only had a few hours to explore, but I certainly enjoyed them!

The picture is a detail of the carving above a doorway on Grand Place.

From my friend Céline :)))

Throughout downtown Brussels there are a number of wall murals of cartoon characters -- in French -- "la bande-dessinée" . Please check out the new travelogue for more of Céline's photos -- which she has graciously agreed to share with us! Merci ,mon amie ;)

 Nice page with some outstanding pictures. I liked Brussels a lot walking up and down like crazy :-)

 Looks like you made good use of your limited time in Brussels. I haven't been there for ages (except for the trade fair). Liked your "Bande-Dessinée" travelogue!

 Oh, what a wonderful place to visit!

 Oooh! I have similar thoughts about "Old and New.. ". In July, I had the photo taken too. It's amazing what you could write about and do in the Grand-Place + Metropole area. You wouldn't regret expanding to other areas than the center, next time. :)
