Atomium

It's amazing! A real work of art, engineering and architecture. I've always been amazed by it, but, unfortunately, I never got the chance to visit inside. Indeed a very unique building that was much bigger than I was expecting and visually stunning. Such an amazing building constructed over 70 years ago for the 58th Expo. looking at it just makes me think of the architect who designed this majestic building with all those different dome towers. Imagine how much effort was put into connecting them. It still looks very shinny to me. I believe a lot of maintenance has been done to it to keep this fresh look. #urbanexplorer #valentinescape

Atomium - Brussels, Belgium

Built for the 1958 Brussels World Fair, this spectacular architecture landmark has been here even since! It’s now one of the popular tourist attraction in Brussels. It serves as a museum, an art center and a cultural destination. The Atomium is 102m tall and each “atom” is made from stainless steel. The Atomium can be access by taking the metro on Line 6 and alight at Heysel station. #tripblazers #belgium #brussels #europe #darwintravel

The Structure with a Purpose

#celebratewithtrip Atomium, one of the most popular landmarks in Brussels, Belgium. It was created for the 1958 world expo which was held in Brussels. Walked from Gare du Nord for about 25 minutes to Grand Place and from there we took Metro Line 6 to Heysel/Heizel. The Atomium is just a few steps away from the Heysel/Heizel station. The history of Atomium was very interesting. I read it before I visited the place and it was really worth it! #atomium #worldexpo #brussels #belgium #europe

What a Place!

#celebratewithtrip Brussels, Belgium is just a 2 and a half hour ride by bus from Amsterdam. It is faster by train but the bus was cheaper 😁 although train is definitely more comfortable but we wanted to try the bus ride experience to be able to compare it on what to take on our next vacation 😊 One of the reasons why we wanted to go to Brussels was to see the Atomium which is the most popular landmark in the city! We saw the Atomium at day time but we went there during night and it was more beautiful with all the lights on. The lights gave more life and charms to the object which is the Atomium. Brussels was a very interesting place. We had an exciting experience that we won‘t forget for the rest of our lives 😅 #brussels #belgium #atomium #busride #unforgettableexperience #europetour #europe

Brussels is known for its cuisine and gastronomic offer (including its local waffles, its chocolate, its French fries and its numerous types of beer), as well as its historical and architectural landmarks. i will definitely visit second time here! #brussels #belgium #trip

The Royal Palace of Brussels

#bucketlistreboot The Royal Palace of Brussels (Palais Royal) is another place to visit whilst in the city. It is the official Palace of the King and Queen of the Belgians however, it is not used as a royal residence. This one reminded us of Buckingham Palace in London and of the the Royal Palace in Madrid. Every summer, the Royal Palace opens its doors to the public. If you are lucky enough to visit, you can see some of the splendid rooms of the palace. Brussels is a great capital city and definitely worth visiting. It’s a popular destination for young adults and families and offers a range of attractions and activities to suit any age group and personal preferences. #brussels #belgium

The entire building is magnificent and full of classical beauty. Close to the Museum of Classical Art is the Museum of Modern Art, especially the work of the Belgian surrealist Margaret.

Manneken Pis Brussels

Though the statue is quite small, it is adorable and the history behind this is quite amazing. Believe it or not, Manneken Pis has been around since 1619. You can't really visit Brussels without stopping by. You can see many tourists around this place and you can be here any time of the day. My recommendation is to get this visited as a part of free walking tour. This would get etched in your memories. People can’t see up close, but it’s totally fine to visit because you will see interesting places along the way. If you see this Manneken Pis statue, you can finally say “Yes, I’ve been to Brussels”.

CHOCOLATE lovers should be here in Brussels!

This is Pillows City Hotel located in the heart of Brussels. From train station is about 7 minutes walking distance. and of course you won't miss any single steps cause it is really-really near. The staff is really helpful. Breakfast spread are variety and you can't miss any of it cause it's really nice. What me like about this hotel is the location near to everything that me want such as Hard Rock Cafe, Grand Place, Mannekin Pis, Saint Michel Cathedral, Notre-Dame Du Sablon and etc. Me like the restaurants nearby my hotel named Woodpecker Brussels. Me had the eggs Benedict with salmon. Best breakfast in Brussels me have and never doubt it. 👍 Besides that, me love Laurent Gerbaud chocolate shop. You guys should be here and try the best and fine chocolate in Belgium. Other shop that you should try are Leonidas, Corne Port Royal, Godiva, Bruyerre and etc. If any one of you would like to go shopping, there is Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert next to Grote Markt. just walking distance from Hard Rock Brussels. For those who likes the city, me really recomend to stay in Brussels at least 4-5 days. Just relax, enjoy the wine and chocolate to the max! have fun!! #spooktaculartrip #deliciousfood #summervacation #urbanexplorer
