Brussels

by Bendokan - last update: Mar 20, 2004

My Home town

As I was born in a small hospital in the city centre, you really can say I'm the Brussels Boy...

What's there more to tell about Brussels than this... If you go to Brussels, you'll always find something to do. In a city of over close to 1 million inhabitants which is the capital of Europe and home of the Nato HQ, and where during weekdaysmore than 25% of the Belgian population come to work, you'll be sure to meet all types of people from all sorts of nationalities.
Taking the metro you'll easily hear 4 to sometimes 10 different languages as this is a multi cultural city.

During the day, you have plenty of museums, parcs, buildings, shops,... to visit and once the sun (which is rare) sets, you'll find all you desire for the night... Clubs, pubs, restaurants,...

Frequently there are events in the city centre like : Fete de la Musique, Brussels Jazz Marathon, Zinnekesparade, ...

If you get to Brussels, you can be sure to have a good time... You'll mix with french and flemish Belgians who are always willing to meet new people...

Brussels is the central city of Europe ! In a heartbeat you can go and visit other great cities in Belgium (Antwerp, Brugge, Oostende...) and you are just a couple of hours away from other major cities like Amsterdam, Paris, London, and many more... You can start in Belgium to visit Europe.

About brussels

I created a travelogue where I will be putting all of my favorite links on Brussels and Belgium in general.

So, go on and have a look...

Parties, hostels, bars, festivals,...

The full bar and beer travelogue of Bendokan in Brussels is up and running and will be updated from time to time. Youcan't go to every bar but it's good to have an idea where good bars and clubs can be found.

Soon I will build a new travelogue for one day itineraries in Brussels. This will be my suggestion for people who are visiting Brussels and want to see some fun things in one day...

 Hi! I've been planning to make a Brussels bar guide too, but maybe I should give up and just direct to yours! One update though - Pablo disco bar is no more. Shame cos the atmosphere was quite unique.
