square called the Grand Place radiates history. Strolling down the narrow pedestrian walkways by the Grand Place, you’ll gain a feeling of timelessness and a deeper appreciation for simpler things. The site of the gleeful Manneken-Pis amplifies the experience that is Brussels. Running north of the Grand Place is Brussels’s busiest shopping street, the pedestrian only rue Neuve. Here you’ll find the latest Belgium fashions. At the other end of rue Neuve is a state-of-the-art shopping mall lined with all the stores you’d expect. Down the road a bit you’ll find freshly landscaped gardens nestled between towering sky scrappers. Belgium composition is an interesting mixture. The country is divided into the Dutch north and the French-speaking south therefore making Brussels one of Europe’s few bilingual capital cities. The delightful jumble of culture can overload the senses. Take some time out to breath in all that is Brussels. You’ll be happy that you did!
