When you think of Brussels, you might not think of good food. Ah, what a mistake. Belgium has excellent food and Brussels leads the way. You should only stay for a few days or you will do serious damage to your waistline.

Belgium is a mix of French and Flemish influences. In fact, there has been talk of the country splitting in two. This has resulted in a culinary tradition of tremendous chocolate, beer and, of course, heavenly waffles.

You will discover waffles as you have never had them before. They are eaten as dessert not breakfast. Mussels that are served with fries. Numerous shops selling chocolates and pralines. Simply put, this city is going to damage to your waistline.

Ah, but there is more to Brussels than just waffles. The locals brew a beer that has become famous. It is cherry beer and is so popular you can get it anywhere. Cherry beer and dessert waffles, oh my. So, how is that belt doing?

After you have had your fill of food, you might be in the mood to work some of it off by going on a nice bicycle ride. Thankfully, there are bicycle rental shops all over town. Then again, you may just want to go to sleep after eating and that is okay as well.

If you get the chance to spend the night in Brussels, make sure to stay at one of the smaller inns inside of this town. By staying at a family run inn, you will be able to mingle with the locals, chat about life in Brussels, and nestle down into a thick comforter for a great night of sleep.

Brussels is best experienced on a casual level. Spend a day checking out the typical tourist attractions. Then spend another one just putting around and taking in the sites. The people are very friendly.

Brussels often does not get much respect when top tourist destinations are mentioned in Europe. It should. The food is tremendous and the sites have much to offer. If you have a chance to go, do so.
