All cities have peculiar smells and the one in Brussels is the smell of chocolate. Round, square, filled, bitter, liquid, frozen...

Inside you can find not only luxury shops and jewelry stores, but also terraces and chocolate shops to have a delicious coffee.

The central station of Brussels is, as its name suggests, the most central of the 4 main stations that the Belgian capital has and is less than a 5-minute walk from the St. Hubert Galleries and the Cathedral.

Designed as the symbol and main pavilion of the World's Fair in Brussels in 1958, this huge atom 102 meters high has become the image of the Belgian capital.
The Atomium means to Brussels what the Eiffel Tower does to Paris.
They are symbols that, created to surprise the world during the universal exhibition in each city and criticized at first, have become the biggest tourist attraction in this capital.

9 - Brussels by Night - a different city
Brussels has a bit of everything to satisfy anyone who wants to discover the city with another approach.
Much of the nightlife in Brussels is concentrated around the Grand Place.
This is a very lively area with a large concentration of restaurants, places to eat something quick and of course, the breweries.
If what you are looking for is a more relaxed activity, then a good option is to walk along the boulevards or visit one of the many museums in the city.
In addition, for nature lovers, it also offers many parks and gardens where you can enjoy a quiet evening walk.
In short, it is a vibrant city that is full of life at night, offering a wide variety of activities to enjoy.
For those who don't know me, I'm Walter Bensusan, I love making videos of my trips and sharing them with you.
