1. Grand Place

The Grand Place, one of the most lively and beautiful squares of Europe, is at the top of the list of places to visit in Brussels. In fact, this is where I am most impressed by the squares I have visited so far. Surrounded by a number of historic buildings, including the Breadhouse, including the city hall and the Brussels City Museum, the square is the ideal location for socializing in Brussels. The most popular event on the street, hosting the Belgian Beer Manufacturers Museum, is the Flower Carpet Festival, held every two years in August. You can sit at this popular square in the city, take a breath and see beautiful buildings and admirers watching them.

1. Manneken Pis (Children's Statue)

One of the first stops to visit after spending time at rand Place is the Manneken Pis, which you can hear about many city fancies about, and the Kid's Statue with the name we know. The sculpture, which was stolen many times after 1618 and was renewed at the same time, is a fountain designed as a child who does not really work. The sculpture, which is poured into a beer during celebrations, is dressed in some of the clothes in the wardrobe on special occasions. Although the Children's Statue does not count as the city's icons, you can be frankly frustrated when you first see the sculpture 61 cm long. Nevertheless, do not leave the city without photographing before you see this popular icon of the city. The statue is located 10 minutes walk from Grand Place Square.

Address: At the intersection of Rue de l'Etuve and Rue du Chene, Brussels Belgium

1. Atomium

Atomium was built for EXPO 1958, which depicts the magnified state of the iron crystals 165 billion times. The monument, consisting of 9 culms, each 18 meters in diameter, was designed by Andre Waterkey. After completion, the upper floor of the building, which has become a symbol of modern architecture in the city, can be reached by elevator, is the ideal spot to observe Brussels. This floor also has a restaurant where you can eat. Do not leave the city without seeing it at least from the outside, which makes the nightfall become a separate air.

1. Mini Europe

Mini Europe, which you can see miniatures of 1:25 scale of 350 buildings from 80 cities, is located in Bruparck just like Atomium. In the open air miniature park opened in 1989, you can examine various types of train, mill, cable car models as well as Vesuvian volcano modeled as an explosion as well as structures such as Pisa Tower, Grand Place, Big Ben, Eiffel Tower. There is also an interactive demonstration in the park, offering visitors information about the European Union, the "Spirit of Europe".
