If that makes it interesting then it is no longer the most boring city, so the title would be given to a new city, which would then become interesting for the same reason, and basically it would just start a cycle that would continue until it is determined that every city in the world is in fact interesting.
@kevincorroyer101 Here is what historians say : The fries are of Parisian origin. In the 1780s, sellers of fried donuts set up shop on the Pont Neuf in Paris. They would have been the first to have the idea of dipping slices of potatoes in frying, probably around 1800. At the beginning of the 19th century, they sold them on the Pont neuf, on the quays of the Seine, Boulevard of the Temple and around the theaters. In the 1830s, the fried potato became the symbol of popular Parisian cuisine. It becomes an identity and appears in all plays, novels, songs relating to the Parisian people. You could say that fries were born at that moment. The stick-shaped fry appeared, still in Paris, in 1840 at the latest. Arrival in Belgium Around 1842, a Bavarian immigrant, Frederik Krieger, learned to make fries in Montmartre. In 1844, he set up as a showman in Belgium and opened the country's first fries shack (baraque à frites), boasting "his potatoes fried like Paris". The Belgians then discovered fries and welcomed them with kindness. Frederik Krieger made his fortune and inspired many followers.
Brussels is a seriously underrated city. Much more than just a stop between Amsterdam and Paris. They have some incredible art museums, too. And yes, the food is quite special. Mayonnaise with fries. So good! 😂😂😂😂😂 Famous for mussels, which isn’t my favorite thing to eat. Chocolate and waffles, though. 🤤
You can stop at Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague (Scheveningen) Antwerp, Brugges, Ghent, and you will have a better time. Belgium is amazing, just not Brussels
@@alexpainter6036 I’ve been to all those cities, except Ghent and Antwerp. Believe it or not, I’ve spent the most time in Utrecht, because I stayed with a family for several weeks. Haarlem and Delft were my favorites, other than Amsterdam. Rotterdam is mostly a new city, since it was destroyed in WWII.
I was on a European tour. I remember Brusseles most of all European capitals. It is very beautiful in the evening. I also ate free chocolate. 10/10, I recommend.
Brussels as a belgian i would avoid. Go to antwerps / brugge / gent / knokke / kortrijk / hasselt.. brussels is not a representation of belgium... yes i'm flemish
"Boring" has been a backhand compliment for 50 years. Charlotte Hornet Larry Johnson loved Charlotte because "There ain't nothing to do here but live". To me, it was about the nicest thing he could say.
@@TSERJIthe most interesting thing about Charlotte is its urban architecture Uptown - outside of that, its really just a place to live (and work). It doesn’t have museums or landmarks that would rival any other city of its size. Not even a food scene.
I loved the smallness of the city btw! Paris Rome London in order to get to one place to another there’s a looong travel time that takes place. Brussels was so easy with a child you follow a model route and everything was so close and we didn’t have to worry and tire ourselves for the next spot, we were relaxed and walking around enjoying the architect.
Literally the mass amounts of “any-towns” in America is proof that not single spot in Europe is boring. Boring is when people don’t try to do anything interesting. You can’t tell the difference between all the Applebees and Walmart infested towns in the US.
The us is just living rent free in your head my bro, us cities are probably the least boring cities you can imagine. Look at SF, LA, NYC, New Orleans etc etc. most things that you see everyday happen in the us. I don’t doubt that some cities aren’t as eventful as others but there definitely are more boring cities in Europe that America
@@darris1939no way. Paris, London Berlin etc are all more interesting than any American city. Then even the towns in the middle of nowhere in England are more interesting than in America. At least you’re not too far away from a historical landmark or a local football team. If you’re born in a town in rural Kansas then prepared to be bored for the rest of your life unless you love driving everywhere and visiting Walmart everyday
@@ethanc1719 you can’t be serious, you're not really telling me rn that any European city could live up to New York/ LA lol. The cities you listed are very overrated too… Also, the us has most types of nature while Europe doesn’t, this already makes it way more interesting
@@darris1939 I’m being deadly serious, I’ve been to NYC and sure it’s a cool city but when up against the great historic European cities: Rome, London etc it’s lacking in culture and of course it’s full of yanks. Don’t get me started on LA - how is sitting in a car all day a fun experience?
Oh please!!! A city constructed in the MIDDLE of a hot desert with harsh unliveable summers where people run from airco to airco! It's not boring, it's just unliveable! 6 months out of the year Riyadh is just plain hell!
I've been there several times before. It's definitely NOT the most boring city in the world. The people are very friendly there and the city overall has a very good vibe.
Last time I had to go there we were robbed. Unless I have no choice, I'm avoiding it. Also, the pavement, while authentic and beautiful, sucks when you're disabled. Nope, last visit was he'll. We were lucky we still had our dang car keys. If we ever go again, I'm definitely leaving before it gets dark. But it's generally too crowded for my tastes anyway 🙃
I live in Brussels and honestly, it is quite boring. But that's actually a good thing imo. Wouldn't want to live in a touristic city or a city riddled with drug crime. (looking at you Antwerp)
I’m Brazilian living in Brussels. I’ve lived in 12 countries and travelled to over 100. I really like Brussels (and Belgium in general). For me the most boring city in the world is definitely Zurich. 6 looooong years living there and would never go back.
Best waffle he could've tried was from Dandoy though, not some random touristy shop around the Grand Place. I once brought two Marines there from when i worked at the US Embassy, they got teary eyed over how good the waffles were :'D
Brussels is one of my favourite cities, Friendly people, coming from diverse backgrounds and tones to do day and night.. and lets not forget about that car-free center and amazing Architecture . only downside is how expensive it is
Trilingual. Even though Brussels is bilingual, Belgium is trilingual as along with the two official languages of Brussels, Dutch and French, German is the third national language of Belgium
I dont know if you care about art but, those buildings are baroque architecture from the baroque period. They also have some beautiful baroque paintings around there if I remember
@@RaduLeMeilleurEnRoblox If you want the best experience I would recommend finding a tour guide who can tell you the story behind some of those paintings
It must have been a very nice city before but I've never liked it ever since the first time I went there. I only live half an hour away from Brussels and I still don't wanna go there.
I spent 25 years there. The problem with Brussels is that it has no national identity. Wallons and Flemish are very divided. Also Brussels is quite dirty and dangerous.. Not as much as Paris or other capitals but still.
@@user-wr5rl1oi9d the atmosphere there is close to the same. For example the trash on the roads. The small roads itself and the chaotic traffic. It's social population and mix of culture is also the same. So yes paris is close to the exact same experience as brussel. Sorry but close to no one is that interested of the napoleon build style.
Brussels for me was one of the most pleasantly surprising location I have ever been to. I ended up there randomly, because I had free time and the flights were cheap and I absolutely loved it!
I live in Belgium! Thank you for such a positive review! Especially about the fries! The last time I saw such a video they tested mcdonalds fries and said they sucked… that’s not how it works..
I'm American (from L.A.) and I've been to Brussels several times over 10+ years. I never found it boring. Who came up with that as a tagline? I guess some travel writer was disgruntled on their trip and decided to excoriate the entire city? And it "stuck" somehow in the echo chamber of the travel-writersphere? It reminds me how people say my city, L.A. is "the worst place for tourists," "full of fake people," "skip L.A. it's not worth it" these are actual articles/things that have been written about L.A. So I never bought into Brussels being "boring" at all.
As a Malaysian living in the UK, Brussels is actually one of my favourite cities… It’s funny because everyone says they hate it, yet it’s packed to the brim with tourists every time I go.
Belgium in general was a fantastic place to visit. Trains are decent to travel around on, great cycling infrastructure, great beer, friendly people, and a lot of beautiful architecture. Ghent was my fav of the cities, with some cool jazz bars, & really good food. Antwerp has some great areas too.
Brussels is the the kind of city we’re you go out on Friday and you come back on Sunday evening cause there’s always something to do. The parties never stop. Especially during summer
Went to Brussels for a couple days. Was actually super excited cause their was a comic book convention going on and I love Belgian comics. Smurfs and Astrix and Obelix carried me through my teenage years. So shout out to the Belgians for that
He never mentioned the chocolate, Chocolate shoppes everywhere making all varieties right in the store. A chocolate paradise. And it’s an attractive, manageable city.
I live there for 7 years when I was younger. Historically and gastronomically, it's an amazing city with a lot to do in and around the city. Granted, doesn't have theme parks or this generation definition of "fun stuff". But there's a crap ton of museums from history to comic books, royal palaces, incredible parks, and a rich culture of food. After been gone 31 years, I'm actually going back next month for 5 days and I CANNOT wait.
I love Brussels. It’s one of my fav places to visit. I don’t think it’s boring at all. And outside of the tourist attractions there are other things to get into. It’s a beautiful wonderful city.
Thise is why we call it french fries: American soldiers stationed in Belgium were first introduced to French fries during World War I. As the official language of the Belgian army was French, soldiers nicknamed the delicious fried potatoes “French fries." The name stuck, and decades later we're still giving credit to the wrong country.
Nope they were actually in invented in France. Oldest writen records of people frying potatoes come from France. And beer and is also from Bavaria, Germany, not belgium
Telling this story is like telling that Marco Polo brought pasta from China. It’s having heard a story repeated over an over without it being true. They called it French because it was cut in Julienne style. But by historical record, it is French so not the wrong country. The Belgian just perfected it.
@@justanotherhappyhumanist8832 do you understand what julienned even means ? The belgians didnt invent fries, they didnt invent beer and they didnt invent waffles (which are also french)
Brussels is an amazing city where I spent the most beautiful years of my childhood. I visit Brussels very often and even as a grown up, I still find many things to do and to discover!
Try visiting the Belgian town of Brugge- one of best preserved medieval towns in all of Europe. Beautiful..like a cross between a movie set and a fairy tale location
I just visited Brussels and liked it a lot. From the countries I've visited, I honestly think France is not good. At least all my luggage got stolen in my first day there and had a bad experience with the people there even when I tried speaking the language instead of my own. I get that the whole country is not bad as I was impressed by the Eiffel Tower and other architecture, but I would definitely go back to Brussels over Paris any day even if it's the most boring according to Google
Trying to speak french when you can’t speak it properly was a mistake. They aren’t really into that. The french in general are a bit of a different breed of people and when you visit france, you have to know that. I love how they are, maybe because it’s different or whatever. Keep in mind: Every country is different and before visiting you should inform yourself about possible odds. Makes life much easier. And there are many many cities and places in France apart from Paris that i personally find much more attractive.
Agree! people in belgium mostly can speak english or at least try to help foreigner that needs help. Unlike in France, is hard to survive if we did not speak french 😢. even only asking a simple help such as which direction
@Prof.Dr.Diagnose I was aware of their uniqueness. However, I would rather visit a country where the people are not too hostile to foreigners imo. What really surprised me about France was how well known it is (many over hype the country with how amazing their visits are), but in reality, I was met with a cold the environment (at least to me who was trying his best at following the customs felt this way). Everyone told me one should speak French over there, otherwise, they treat you like crap. Some still treated me badly for just trying to speak the French I had learned so far (I felt some of the comments I got were uncalled for). Everyone should have their opinions about other countries, and I bet they change over time. For now I prefer visiting other countries, since I can have a better time there. Maybe someday I might start liking the country more, but I just didn't enjoy my first visit there
Fries are not from France - it is from Belgium. It is called French fries because this dish was discovered by American soldiers in Belgium during World War I and, since the dominant language of southern Belgium is French.
Fake news build by Belgium people because it's the only symbol food they have with waffle. It's french, describe by Victor Hugo book when he walked along the Scene, before it exist in Belgium ...
@@Tyrex95210 that's why there's a manuscript from 1781 discovered by Jo Gérard that says fries have a Belgian origin. Ppl in parts that now make up Belgian started with frieing small fish from around 1680. In wintertime because the lakes would freeze over, they used potatoes instead.
I've never been to Brusseles, but I've been to Belgium. Lovely place, one of those places in Europe that kept its culture, instead of tearing it all down to build ugly concrete buildings.
Brussels is amazing and a beautiful city and there is lots of amazing museums and art galleries as well as delicious food and the most beautiful architecture.😊
Belgium is awesome!! The food and beer are second to none. All there is to do is walk around the beautiful Brussels city center and stuff yourself with waffles, chocolate, fries and hotdogs. I'll take that boring life any day!
I've lived here for 10 years I can confirm Brussels is horribly boring :( I will finally leave this year and can't wait!!! Visiting is one thing and living here is another one.
The atomium represents 9 iron atoms in a BCP crystalline structure. Iron-ically, originally the balls were made out of aluminium and were dull grey. After a lot of discussion and questions about the high cost, they finally changed them into shiny stainless steel (i.e. iron) balls... It was originally not in iron because it wasn't meant to last. It was built for the world exhibition only and was supposed to be torn down afterwards. It took almost 50 years to finally end the discussion and make it awesome again. #MAAA - Make Atomium Awesome Again.
Brother forget we in europe and if you speak about architecture of course you think about Italy first even tho the architecture is all over Europe , and of course my last result probably will be Belgium but at last .
Don’t trust Google!! (unless Brussels has completely changed) * Visited the infamous “Manneken Pis”. * Had my cones of Belgian frites with mayonnaise instead of catsup. * My first of many tastes of Belgian lambics. * Visted a bar called Le Cercueil (The Coffin) where the tables were coffin tops.
There’s a restaurant in Brussels that serves steak on a hot rock to cook as you eat it. The same restaurant has over 150 different types of beers to choose from. That place alone was worth the trip!!

It reminds me how people say my city, L.A. is "the worst place for tourists," "full of fake people," "skip L.A. it's not worth it" these are actual articles/things that have been written about L.A. So I never bought into Brussels being "boring" at all.
I'm in belgium and trust me u don't wanna come here😭
As a Malaysian living in the UK, Brussels is actually one of my favourite cities… It’s funny because everyone says they hate it, yet it’s packed to the brim with tourists every time I go.
"tourists" from Africa 🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️🙍🏿♂️
I love it too, lol. That city is so alive on September!
Bruxelles is a luna park. I say this as an Italian. Real wild night life
There is a saying, Brussel give what Paris promises
finaly someome to mention it thank you
I really liked the city, its far from boring. But the nightlife was, in fact, disappointing.
@@juanlima2763Because the majority of the scenes are underground
Belgium in general was a fantastic place to visit. Trains are decent to travel around on, great cycling infrastructure, great beer, friendly people, and a lot of beautiful architecture. Ghent was my fav of the cities, with some cool jazz bars, & really good food. Antwerp has some great areas too.
Boring that's crazy!!!! Live in Brussels and it's the most multi activities city that I lived in !!! Brussel ma belle ❤❤❤
Brussels is the the kind of city we’re you go out on Friday and you come back on Sunday evening cause there’s always something to do. The parties never stop. Especially during summer
Been like this since the 80's
But you got to be carefull you Don’t get stabbed in the Subways or in the clubs
i agreed
@@prayerzz7457No you don’t.
@@prayerzz7457 never happends
Went to Brussels for a couple days. Was actually super excited cause their was a comic book convention going on and I love Belgian comics. Smurfs and Astrix and Obelix carried me through my teenage years. So shout out to the Belgians for that
From all the examples you can give you chose Asterix which is French ahahaha
@@gaelledlm3866Herg'e!!!! Was he not the Belgian illustrator of Tintin????
in Brussels you also have a open air museum called mini Europe, it's small sculptures of all important buildings of Europe, it's stunning!

Belgium is one of favorite travel memories ❤❤ Had a great time
He never mentioned the chocolate, Chocolate shoppes everywhere making all varieties right in the store. A chocolate paradise. And it’s an attractive, manageable city.
I live there for 7 years when I was younger. Historically and gastronomically, it's an amazing city with a lot to do in and around the city.
Granted, doesn't have theme parks or this generation definition of "fun stuff". But there's a crap ton of museums from history to comic books, royal palaces, incredible parks, and a rich culture of food.
After been gone 31 years, I'm actually going back next month for 5 days and I CANNOT wait.
I love Brussels. It’s one of my fav places to visit. I don’t think it’s boring at all. And outside of the tourist attractions there are other things to get into. It’s a beautiful wonderful city.
As a Belgian I don’t think Brussels is the most boring city in the world. It are the people who make it feel boring that are boring
Thise is why we call it french fries: American soldiers stationed in Belgium were first introduced to French fries during World War I. As the official language of the Belgian army was French, soldiers nicknamed the delicious fried potatoes “French fries." The name stuck, and decades later we're still giving credit to the wrong country.
Nope they were actually in invented in France.
Oldest writen records of people frying potatoes come from France.
And beer and is also from Bavaria, Germany, not belgium
Beer was invented in Mesopotamia in the ancient times @@hidenname541
Telling this story is like telling that Marco Polo brought pasta from China. It’s having heard a story repeated over an over without it being true. They called it French because it was cut in Julienne style. But by historical record, it is French so not the wrong country. The Belgian just perfected it.
@@hidenname541you're talking out your ass. They already made beer in ancient Egypt.
@@justanotherhappyhumanist8832 do you understand what julienned even means ?
The belgians didnt invent fries, they didnt invent beer and they didnt invent waffles (which are also french)
Brussels is an amazing city where I spent the most beautiful years of my childhood. I visit Brussels very often and even as a grown up, I still find many things to do and to discover!
Try visiting the Belgian town of Brugge- one of best preserved medieval towns in all of Europe.
Beautiful..like a cross between a movie set and a fairy tale location
I just visited Brussels and liked it a lot. From the countries I've visited, I honestly think France is not good. At least all my luggage got stolen in my first day there and had a bad experience with the people there even when I tried speaking the language instead of my own. I get that the whole country is not bad as I was impressed by the Eiffel Tower and other architecture, but I would definitely go back to Brussels over Paris any day even if it's the most boring according to Google
Trying to speak french when you can’t speak it properly was a mistake. They aren’t really into that. The french in general are a bit of a different breed of people and when you visit france, you have to know that. I love how they are, maybe because it’s different or whatever.
Keep in mind: Every country is different and before visiting you should inform yourself about possible odds. Makes life much easier.
And there are many many cities and places in France apart from Paris that i personally find much more attractive.
The French are pricks. What else is new?
Agree! people in belgium mostly can speak english or at least try to help foreigner that needs help. Unlike in France, is hard to survive if we did not speak french 😢. even only asking a simple help such as which direction
@Prof.Dr.Diagnose I was aware of their uniqueness. However, I would rather visit a country where the people are not too hostile to foreigners imo. What really surprised me about France was how well known it is (many over hype the country with how amazing their visits are), but in reality, I was met with a cold the environment (at least to me who was trying his best at following the customs felt this way). Everyone told me one should speak French over there, otherwise, they treat you like crap. Some still treated me badly for just trying to speak the French I had learned so far (I felt some of the comments I got were uncalled for). Everyone should have their opinions about other countries, and I bet they change over time. For now I prefer visiting other countries, since I can have a better time there. Maybe someday I might start liking the country more, but I just didn't enjoy my first visit there
@@fabianugalde3789 Don't worry, we Belgians don't like the French and their pretentious pompous ways either
Fries are not from France - it is from Belgium. It is called French fries because this dish was discovered by American soldiers in Belgium during World War I and, since the dominant language of southern Belgium is French.
Fake news build by Belgium people because it's the only symbol food they have with waffle. It's french, describe by Victor Hugo book when he walked along the Scene, before it exist in Belgium ...
@@Tyrex95210 that's why there's a manuscript from 1781 discovered by Jo Gérard that says fries have a Belgian origin. Ppl in parts that now make up Belgian started with frieing small fish from around 1680. In wintertime because the lakes would freeze over, they used potatoes instead.
Its the way they are cut.... that story is a fabeltje
True its called French Fries because in USA the way they make it is frenching but they maked it shorter in the name.@aqwzsx179
@@SDFootballedits no. To french is Irish word.
I've never been to Brusseles, but I've been to Belgium. Lovely place, one of those places in Europe that kept its culture, instead of tearing it all down to build ugly concrete buildings.
Bro I am from belgium
Now Im gonna say in belgium
Ik ben van België

The architecture there is so well detailed I could spend hours seeing those beautiful buildings and I'll not be bored

Brussels is amazing and a beautiful city and there is lots of amazing museums and art galleries as well as delicious food and the most beautiful architecture.😊
Brussels is such a fun and enjoyable city, the nicest in Belgium with Ghent a close second for me.
Belgium is awesome!! The food and beer are second to none. All there is to do is walk around the beautiful Brussels city center and stuff yourself with waffles, chocolate, fries and hotdogs. I'll take that boring life any day!
“ food is second to none “.
WTF I just read.
BS 🤡😂
Brussels is the 3rld world jungles
gooooood thqt you mentionned frozen touriest trap food when we have one of the best clubbing scene in the world
Lived in Belgium for four years.
I had a great time!
I've lived here for 10 years I can confirm Brussels is horribly boring :( I will finally leave this year and can't wait!!! Visiting is one thing and living here is another one.
Brussels is great! For those who loves beer, that is the place! Greetings from Brazil!
Google is lying belgium is full of love
I travelled to Brussels last year for 3 nights, it was amazing! I would like to visit again someday 🙂🇧🇪
The square is even more beautiful in the evening!
Lived in Brussels for 11 years, and when I moved to Venice I think about it everyday. It’s got a special little place in my heart ❤
Been there…it has the most beautiful town square in the entire world!
also one of the best clubbing scene of the world that would be nice if people stop ignoring that
@@stkmsl8244 it's really nice but not if you compare it to other cities. But I love to club in Brussels.
The atomium represents 9 iron atoms in a BCP crystalline structure. Iron-ically, originally the balls were made out of aluminium and were dull grey. After a lot of discussion and questions about the high cost, they finally changed them into shiny stainless steel (i.e. iron) balls... It was originally not in iron because it wasn't meant to last. It was built for the world exhibition only and was supposed to be torn down afterwards. It took almost 50 years to finally end the discussion and make it awesome again. #MAAA - Make Atomium Awesome Again.
Brussels is amazing. A great stop between Amsterdam and Paris or Amsterdam and Cologne. Also a great base to hop out and see other Belgian towns
I love Brussels and Belgium. For such a small country, they have amazing beer, chocolate, fries, waffles and Kevin De Bruyne.
MIMA too.
As a belgian, you've got all my respect
Bro! This place looks amazing, I’d love to go 🙏🏽
I’m in Brussels now. It’s beautiful and so underrated.
Great beer
Waffles excellent
Being American I’m surprised he wasn’t overwhelmed at how “old” it is.
Americans usually think anything existing before 1890 is “ancient”
Me who lives in Belgium: "ugh...here we go again...everyone forgets about the weather..."
Fr it's mostly rain or sun or cold or H O T and thé ibjust chill💀
@@connordhooghe719 ikr
The typical "welkom in België" with the unpredictable weather 😅
Beautiful city and even better chocolate. If you don’t appreciate art, architecture and baroque culture in general it’s probably not for you.
And best beers ;) you may try and compare in delirium cafe ;)
Brother forget we in europe and if you speak about architecture of course you think about Italy first even tho the architecture is all over Europe , and of course my last result probably will be Belgium but at last .
@@tchoulll you dont have to go the delirium cafe tourist trap every belgian bar has a decent selection of beers
Just got back from visiting Brussels and had an absolutely amazing time. Wish I could've had 2-3 more days there. So much to do!
BORING !?, LIES. I visited Brussels just for 24 hours and it instantlly became one of my fav countries 😍🇩🇰❤️🔥🇧🇪
Brussels is amazing. The fries and waffles alone are worth the visit. The beer is amazing too, on par with German and Czechia
Belgian beer is world class.
Brussels is one of my fav city in west Europe and actually not boring at all. Love Belgians they are all open minded ❤
Not like in Amsterdam, London, Paris and Stockholm.
Don’t trust Google!!
(unless Brussels has completely changed)
* Visited the infamous “Manneken Pis”.
* Had my cones of Belgian frites with mayonnaise instead of catsup.
* My first of many tastes of Belgian lambics.
* Visted a bar called Le Cercueil (The Coffin) where the tables were coffin tops.
Fun fact : Atomium was made for Expo 58, and people liked it so much thst they decided to keep it.
I've been to Belgium and I really liked it. Beautiful city.
There’s a restaurant in Brussels that serves steak on a hot rock to cook as you eat it. The same restaurant has over 150 different types of beers to choose from. That place alone was worth the trip!!
What the Hell, you can get a Hot Rock Steak in every big City in Germany 😂
Brussels isn’t much to look at but it’s a great place to just hang out and have a beer or two and chat with people
love Brussels, living here for 15 years ❤❤❤
