[Brussels] Food paradise, spectacular night view
Brussels, the capital of Belgium, is a world-famous gourmet paradise, especially desserts and chocolates, you must try them when you come! This city has beautiful architecture and countless cultural attractions, but what attracts me is definitely the world's top chocolate shop.
Brussels is not a very big city, and a one-day city walk is definitely enough for you to see all the sights in Brussels. Even if you only have one day, you can fully feel its charm.
Speaking of attractions, the Grote Market, the Royal Palace, the Atomium, the Manneken Pis, the Mont des Arts, and the Brussels Court of Justice are all places worth visiting.
The transportation in Brussels is very convenient. You only need to choose the STIB transportation card to travel around the city within 24 hours. This is also a walking paradise. Looking down on the city from the mountains at night is really spectacular! #belgium #brussels

Mont Des Art Belgium
This place makes you literally fall in love with brussels. There are plenty of beautiful spots to click pictures around and pay visit to museums. I personally loved clicking as many pictures as possible at this spot. This is also a must visit place when you are at Brussels. Indeed a beautiful place with good landscapes over building and city hall. I think It’s a must go in Brussels since it is also near the plaza. Although there is no water in the fountain and some trash can be found, still a nice place to visit
