My taste of Brussels

by 1W1V - last update: Jul 3, 2008

Brussels is not the place I am from but is the city I always stay when I go back to Belgium.

Between Brussels and I, it is a love and hate story. Whenever I have the choice, I always stay in Ixelles near Abbaye de la Cambre. To me, the best, quietest, safest and most enjoyable place in Brussels.

 Hi... great overview - I love Brussels and am moving back there in a couple of months... Looking forward to looking at some of your other travels.

 Hmmm.. smells like a good start. I work near the abbey and Flagey's Belga. isn't this antiques shop the one you get to by passing through a dark corridor ? I like it too but never bought anything there... too poor for that. :-)

 Hey, you captured somehow "the soul" of Brussels! Great work.

 Good practical tips! might have to skip the $ trenty resto but they all sounds nice! I hope when in Belgium you also try to discover other places! you already discovered the Ardens, a favorite tourist area with great nature and ++ for walks or cano trips!
