Don't often get to see Brussels threads but that was a comprehensive tour.

hackunion Jul 7, 2008 7:42 PM

Quite the charming perspectives, in what seems like a lovely atmosphere.

Very nice, thanks!

Incredible!

Brussels has the most beautiful central market square in all of Europe in my opinion.

Rico Rommheim Jul 8, 2008 2:25 AM

Brussel looks like it was built to be a continental capital! :worship:

waterloowarrior Jul 8, 2008 2:47 AM

I'll be visiting there in August hopefully, looks very nice

In the shadow of the Palace of Justice lies the Marolles, once an old and poor working-class quarter, now a trendy and popular neighbourhood with intimate bars and restaurants, antique and design shops. At sunday there's a fantastic flee market at the Vossenplein.
In the Hoogstraat the painter Pieter Breughel lived and died, and the world famous jazz-musician Toots Tielemans was born in the same street.

More Brussels photo's.
The Parc Du Cinquantenaire is situated in the east of Brussels, near the EU-quarter. It's best known for its excellent museums like the Museum of Art and History, The Military Museum (with splendid airplane collection) and Autoworld, one of the biggest old-timer collections in Europe.

In the park you'll also find Belgiums Big Mosque and at the edge there's the well known Berlaymont-building, home of the European Commision.

The residential area around the parc is a threasery of belle epoque and art nouveau.

The Belgian Centre for Comic Strip Art chronicles the history of Belgian comics. Housed in a former department store which was designed by the Belgian art nouveau architect Victor Horta.

The full range of comic art is covered, including science fiction, wild west, crime and politics as well as children's comics such as The Smurfs.

It has several exhibits on Belgium's most famous comic characters Tintin and Snowy and their creator Hergé.
