People who visited Brussels are divided into two categories: on those who believe that there is nothing to do there (the city is inspected for 3-4 hours) and those who live there for a couple of weeks, did not have time to inspect. Both are the right to exist. And in order to accept one or another point of view, you need to visit this ambiguous city. Although, probably, it can be said about any city. After all, being in different places of our globe, different people solve different tasks - therefore, different attitude towards visited places.
In Brussels, good weather is infrequently - lead sky is a familiar picture. A stunning building this city also does not boast - the circle of the building from glass and concrete, diluted with multi-time houses. The specificity of the city is not a "streaming" sightseeing (when, just walking, you inspect the city), and attending individual objects located, sometimes, at a decent distance from each other.
Brussels, most people are associated with a famous fountain "Pissing Boy", but few people know that there is still a couple of monuments of such subjects: "Pissing girl" and "Pissing Dog"
And this is in the city where the Headquarters of the European Union is located, the NATO office is felt that the Europeans have everything in order with humor.
Of course, one of the most visited tourists places is Grand Place Square . The area is very beautiful, surrounded by houses of the 17th century buildings. Nearby can be seen Monument to Burgomist Brussels Charle Bles . It was he who retained the square in its original form.
In general, for us a monument is something monumental, large, majestic. Belgians have a different opinion. For them, monument is unequal evillation and pompousness:
Cathedral of Saints Mikhail and Hudula in Brussels - A bright representative of Gothic art. All epithets will fade with its beauty. He is not gorgeous, he is stunning. His beauty and greatness are indescribable. Neither the photo nor the video is unable to transfer all the power and at the same time the ease of this structure:
The doors of the cathedral are open every day from 8 am to 6 pm.
And this is also Brussels:
- Perhaps the most unexpected landmark of the European capital. The construction of these unusual structures for Europe was a fun king Leopold II, but after his death, from the fun turned into the Museum of Eastern Art. Here are the Japanese Pagoda and the Chinese pavilion, which exhibits the collection of Chinese porcelain. Museums are located near the Heizel stadium and open from 9:30 to 17. The day off is Monday. Input 3 euros.
If you ended up in Brussels on the eve of such a well-known event as "night museums" - I do not envy you. Just alone! Night and the mass of museums, for which the inspection of which is not enough for several days. "Chocolate and Cocoa Museum"; "Comic Museum"; "Museum of Beer"; "Museum of musical instruments"; "Royal Museums of Fine Arts" - and this is only a small list. Here you will have to make a painful choice between your addictions.
Museum Rene Magritta . Opening hours on Tuesday to Sunday (from 10 to 17). Surrealism begins immediately - from the building where the museum is located:
The magnificent collection of cloths of this famous Belgian artist will not leave indifferent even who is far from art.
Museum of costume and lace . Work time Thursday-Tuesday (from 10 to 17). This is another, rather than paintings and architecture, beauty. Here you can get acquainted with weightless and delicious products of local lace, national costumes of adults and children.
Museum of Army . It is surprising that the museum of such the subject is located here. After all, Belgium is an unposable state, but a collection of weapons, tools, ammunition in Brussels is rich. Museum area is huge. Large equipment is located in the hangars. The entrance is free.
Museum "Automir" Located opposite the military. The exposition is located according to the time frame, so passing between the exhibits, you observe the evolution of the automotive industry. EUR ENTRY.
It is important for each person! And Brussels offers it its own. This is the city where everything is in moderation. It is not overloaded by attractions, but in this is his charm. There are many museums and authentic streets. Here are funny monuments and strict cathedrals. Here are the most delicious waffles, beer and chocolate. Perhaps someone will have enough hours to inspect the main attractions, but who knows what exactly is these attractions? Those described in guidebooks? Come to Brussels and find your own place here!
