Brussels is a very attractive city. The Grand Place is a wonderful showcase of Gothic architecture.
There are a lot of pretty sights around the city. I especially love walking into old churches and admiring the way the stained glass windows catch the sunlight. It’s somewhat hard to capture in a photograph. (Or maybe I’m just bad at photography.)
I went to a couple of different museums, including one dedicated to Magritte and one dedicated to illuminated manuscripts.
Food-wise, I obviously had to have a Belgian waffle. I also had some strange tomato dish at a cute café. I’m not sure what it was, but it was decent.
I passed by a restaurant named Jardin des Olives (“Olive Garden”). Apparently they have Olive Garden in Europe!
There was also a cannabis store. Judging from the English signage, it was aimed at tourists. No, I did not go in. I also saw a nice antiques market behind an old church. I browsed around, but I didn’t find anything I wanted to buy.
