The Belgian capital is one of Europe’s lesser-known gems, yet it’s fully worth a visit. In addition to some of the best waffles and chocolates worldwide, the city boasts an amazing array of things to see and do. Not convinced? Here’s a sample of highlights.
French fries? Belgian fries!
As any Belgian will proudly tell you, they are the true inventors of the deep-fried potato. Try out the Belgian fries and decide for yourself whether the much-touted double-frying method is worth all the hype (best enjoyed together with a steaming bowl of clams, which restaurants customarily serve with a bottomless side of fries).

Our guide really knew the history around these 2 incredible cities and was always very patient and kind. Time of the year (end of October) though, not the best period to go there since springs already over so not as beautiful as we expected. Also get ready to walk quite a bit if you are willing to get to know as much as possible during the day. While buying the tickets they offer Hotel pick-up (in city center only), however when I requested it, they said I must go to the tour starting point without further explanation why. So do not actually count with Hotel pick-up even if you are staying at the City Center. In general, a nice day tour and worth the money.
