| Grand' Place Okay, okay ... this is very tourisic but its ever so pretty - 'de grote Markt'. | Atomium If you like design and if you like the 50s, then the Atomium is the place to go. | Designstuff Hoet is the name for design stuff in Belgium, go and check it out! |
| Ixelles
A fantastic area, well worth a visit if you want to distance yourself from the more obvious parts of Brussels. It's only a short hop from the center, but feels a million miles away. Wander its narrow, crowded streets and treat yourself to a bit in one of the many African and Asian restaurants that populate the area.

A La Morte Subite (or "sudden death" in English) is one of the traditional watering-holes, a bit off-Grand Place. Inside you will find friendly service, decent prices (did I mention it was off-Grand Place?), and the original 1928 art-deco interior. Sample some of the numerous Belgian beers - and don't forget the house brand: A la mort Subite (I did, and I'm still alive). Christian | Manneken Pis Corner of Rue de l' Etuve and Rue du Chêne
New York has the statue of Liberty, Copenhagen has the mermaid and Brussels has the…..Manneken Pis. This statue of a little boy in a somewhat compromising position has since several centuries been a major tourist attraction in the city. Wim |
