Spending time in a hotel in Brussels, Belgium!

Weekend in a hotel in the centre of Brussels

I just got back from an interesting trip to a very interesting city: for 3 days and 4 nights, I got the chance to stay at a very nice Brussels hotel. Brussel, in the old days the capitol of Bourgondian Brabant. Later the most important town of the (Spanish) Lowlands and again a few centuries later the capitol that linked the so devided Belgium (Dutch-speaking Flandres and French-speaking Wallonie). Maybe that's why the atmosphere in Brussels can be called international, although the look of the (old) town is so typically Lowland (especially the Marketsquare). Brussels d.B. (district of Belgium), it can now-a-days be called. The European capital in the centre of the European Community has however much more then the Euro-neighborhood full of high officebuildings and the European parlement. The town has a rich and moving history as the country has been a battlefield between many nations on the old continent.

When you're going to visit the Market in the centre, beware. Its beauty will put many other squares in the world permanently in the shadow. The magnificent cityhall and beautiful patrician-houses will amaze you and you can spend hours walking around. If you're lucky, you can book a room in one of the hotels in Brussel located close to this magnificent square. Mine was a little bit further, next time I'll definitely pick a hotel in Brussel centrum!


Brussels is also the place for enjoying the Bourgondian style of eating, you will definitely notice that in your hotel Brussel as well as in the many many fine restaurants in the city centre. Deliscious is here still not the word to be used as it is not good enough for the tasty menus you can enjoy here. Especially in the little alleys around the Marketsquare you can find many restaurants that will serve you the finest courses.



Furthermore, after having left your hotel in Brussel in the morning, you can make long walks along many historical places. The shopping streets, with as highlight the first shopping-arcade in the world: Saint Hubert-galery. The churches of Saint Michel & Saint Goedele or the little Zavel, with the peaceful green place next to it, that reminds one of the blackest moments in Lowlands-history. The huge Palace of Justice (one of the largest classic buildings in the world, however holding the largest doors). On top of this all one should not forget the Royal Palace and it's park. A place where one can enjoy the wealth of the King's of Belgium as well as the peace of the green lanes. I found it very nice to return to my beautiful hotel Brussels after having spent the entire day watching and photographing all those beautiful things. I was exhausted!
