Brussels - where every corner tells a story

Brussels - where every corner tells a story

Laura Dehelean
Brussels: A city of contrasts, where the old and new harmonize, and the vibrant energy of its streets paints a kaleidoscope of experiences waiting to be explored! Do explore day trips to Ghent & Brugge. When it comes to cuisine, Belgium is famous for: cheese, mussels, rabbit stew, chocolate, waffles, fries, and boterhammen or tartines. Btw - Brussels has more chocolate shops per square foot than any other city!!!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Laura Dehelean
Hi! đŸ€— I’m Laura - born and grown nearby the Romanian coasts of the Black Sea, in Constanta (a city with great history which I invite you all to visit and enjoy). This city and its surroundings, with beautiful, wide beaches have always drawn lots of tourists, thus
 I have been working in the hospitality industry for quite a while now. Of course, I enjoy more being a tourist myself 😁(or perhaps
should I say “a traveler”?). In the past few years I have travelled across Europe (and most of its capitals and big cities) and found out many special places which I longed to share with others (it would have been a pity not being able to do so nowadays). So, thanks to Thatch I can provide some lists to help me and my friends out along our journeys - and, hopefully, other Thatchers as well. P.S.1 I am always open to suggestions or feedback on how to improve the info that I’m sharing. P.S.2 I am passionate about my shopping, therefore all my guides shall always include shopping venues that mainly sell authentic brands - bespoke souvenirs are what we want to take home with us, right? P.S.3 My guides shall always include many venues/places because I like options. Personally, I wouldn’t cross half a city just to get to a specific restaurant
after a long day, in particular, I would rather find a good spot close to the hotel that I’m staying at (or somewhere in that area). Moreover, different trips in the same city could target a totally different area and wouldn’t it be nice to explore its best by knowing all the variety of services/products available around?
