48 Hours In Brussels: 2-Day Belgium Itinerary To See, Eat & Explore
Brussels is an unofficial international city and expatriate oasis, due to the almost 45,000 EU and NATO personnel working in the city. For travelers, this is fantastic, because it is accompanied by a warm and open spirit. Brussels is also a foodie city, with 148 restaurants per square mile, so come hungry, come curious, and come willing to explore. Each Brussels neighborhood has its own feeling and charm — you will get the most out of your visit if you walk around and get a feel for the different areas. St. Gilles is a hip district with distinctive architecture and an artsy feel. There are great spots that are usually only frequented by locals. Even if you don't have much time, or it’s freezing, windy and rainy, take a stroll through the neighborhood. One of Brussels’ most well-known and talked about attractions is the Manneken Pis (peeing boy statue); similar to the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, it has been stolen, it gets dressed up, and is a source of entertainment. However, if you are on the lookout, Brussels is full of unusual statues that are just as interesting and worth photographing. Keep your eyes open for the unusual, it is all around you.
