I was born in Brussels (in 1946). Lived there, studied there, worked there. I am living now in southern France as retired. Sometimes, I miss Brussels. It is a city full of surprises at each corner if you let your curiosity flying freely. It is impossible to describe and to "market" this city in 10 minutes. The best way to visit it is to know a local who was born in Brussels, to take the time to stay there for a while and to let you drive along in different areas. Anyway, this video gave me nice souvenirs of my city. Thank you/Bedankt/Merci
Hello, you story sounds very interesting! If you ever come to Brussels, it would be nice to meet up. My name is Ekaterina, I am Russian, and now live near Hasselt.
Hi Ekaterina! I moved to bxl from Flanders 18 years ago as a student. This city made me and will always be in my heart. If you need any local tips to visit Brussels let me know!
You can always check out BRUZZ, the main source in Brussels when it comes down to news and the best culture tips! We also have a weekly show on sundays called BRUZZ International, where we take a look at what's happening in the city keeping the international community in mind! 😁
This is a very nice city, I hope I can visit again in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Avoid the restaurants in Rue de la Montagne (opposite the cathedral) and avoid the restaurants at 'Rue des Bouchers' + area. They're not belgian/brussels, although they claim to be. They're just expensive useless tourists traps.
The renter of appartments offered vegan dandelion seitan, dont know if that os belgian food or hers but that was the most delicious food I ever tried. She said you can love vegan food if you only can be creative in the kitchen😍
I love your report about Brussels. I’m Norwegian and I love your city, however I just need to say that the comment about ‘the finesse of French cuisine ‘ is an illusion. I’ve lived in France for five years and I discovered that so called French Gastronomie Is an over statement simply because people are conditioned and don’t dare to ask questions.. i was still living in France when the country woke up to the big scandal ( 2015) in the restaurant business.. so many ‘restaurants gastronomiques ‘ and star Michelin were caught using frozen or industrial food and serving them as ‘ de la cuisine artisanale ‘. The whole thing proved my point.. same goes for their patisseries… I prefer eating in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Thailand, Oslo, NYC, Beirut, Marrakech,Naples, Sicily, Bologna, India, London or Brussels .
Discover the "good places" in Brussels; we have the most prestigious restaurants. You're all wrong. I am from Brussels. I think you've never seen the best places.
I love your vedios amazing to watching so many things to learn ..very specifix explanation ..you are professional guide tour in the cities around Europe 👍😍🌍
I'm going to Brussels this Saturday, my second time visiting this wonderful city. Watching your RUclips video has certainly given me a few ideas of things to do and places to visit.
Wow a boy's fountain is a Real European Brand nowadays. Anyway it's great to see a lot of beautifull old corners with such a devine art on the walls, a choclate is no longer a secret and such a sweet company with beer makes the evenings there really unforgetable for all addicted to earliests days of free Easter Isle American style.
Brussels is a terrible city to live in and a very average one to visit. People are incredibly uninteresting and woke, income tax is through the roof, the weather is disgusting, the activities are boring and unless you really get off on drinking beer and eating fries there is really nothing to do. Architecture is inconsistent with some buildings looking absolutely phenomenal but being placed right next to the ugliest most east-block looking pieces of shit. Criminality is also high, no woman in her right mind would feel safe walking anywhere in Brussels at night. Last but not least Belgian cuisine is absolutely terrible, you can fact check that on any website.
Those places are places more to meet tourists and European bureaucrats, than actual Belgians... If you want to connect to the actual city, you'd rather go around "place Flagey", the university, the sunday-morning market "aux abattoires de Bruxelles", taste the beers at the "moeder lambik" instead ... Belgians takes a bit of time to meet: you need to become a regular of the same place. But you won't end up with such a made-up picture of the city (witch explained so many wrong decision at the EU).
Well done video! I could have added Cinquatenaire park and Atomium but I also understand that one cannot "include everything". You already have a lot of interesting attractions in a quite short time.
I've never visted mainland Europe even though I live in the UK. I think it's about time that I did. I plan to do Paris, Brussels and maybe Amsterdam by Eurostar over the coming weeks, short trips. As sad as it sounds I am actually looking forward to getting EU passport stamps...
I am a fresh graduate, looking to continue my study in Belgium. I like to watch some videos about it to motivate me. I hope I could get the scholarship!
Humanzoo - An African girl was fed by the outstretched hand of a white patron during 1958 Brussels featuring 'Congo Village' with visitors watching her from behind wooden fences.
As an "African" the reason Europe is still behind and racist in their ignorance is the constant use of African as a blanket term! I'm a Londoner and I can tell you we are far more culturally diverse and past the term of blanketing cuisine as African! At least state a region for goodness sake! It's a continent! We don't eat all the same food!!!
I miss the "kruidtuin van Brussel" (botanic garden), Graf van de onbekende soldaat, the cathedrals. In Brussels you will find very ugly places next to beautiful architecture. Still its a nice place to walk around and discover.
As a true guy from Brussels, you didn't even talk about St-Géry, goupil le fol, le Corbeau (the crow), Cim D'Ix, Plux le jeudi soir, Madame Moustache, La porte Noire, Le Jam, Alice Bar, Cospaia...
Okay, we're going to Brussels and I didn't see hardly any small children in this whole video! I'm a little worried! I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old... Are breweries and lots of these places kid friendly? Or did I choose a bad destination for a family. 😬
Haha, children are welcome don't worry. They are everywhere! 🤣 Kids are allowed in breweries. We even used to get some (very light) beer (Piedboeuf) at... kindergarten!
You didin’t see because is no nearly kids there. And people now how dangerous is there… I was in Brussels in August with my family. Many gangs in the street and old town … no tourist nearly if you wanna know how bad is there just check comments on police website in Brussels. And decide if you want go There . For your safety and your children don’t go there or go alone first…
@@justynaalicja6692 I am now living in Brussels for over a month and have been to Brussels almost weekly for about 3 years and I can tell you that that's a bit of an exaggeration. Brussels is fairly safe and there are a lot of police everywhere in every part of the city. There aren't gangs walking around in the streets (well, my friends who have lived in bxl for their whole lives and me have never seen any 'gangs' in the streets). You just have to be careful for pickpockets and don't walk around as a girl at night if it is not the city-center. There can be perverts at night but in Bruxelles-central it is pretty safe.
Is not true what you said . Is The most dangerous city in Europe . I was in Amsterdam, Paris, London etc and even Russia and Brussels is the most dangerous city. I was in old town , Atomium. Just read comments on website World Nomands Crime in Belgium about the Brussels and down on the page are many comments , same you can read on police website… nearly no Kids I was with my son and everyone looked at us . Cos is not kids there… and every 3 minutes people ask about money… OMG rubbish everywhere… rats. do you know that in rest in Europe women can walk normally day, evening , night that mean is normal and safe you can have your phone, your jewellery…
1. Drink beer 2. Drink beer 3. Drink beer 4. Drink beer 5. Drink beer 6. Order another beer... and drink it 7. Drink beer 8. Drink another beer. 9. Drink beer. 10. Buy chocolate.... Just kidding.... have another beer!
Ada have no clue about belgian chocolate, what about “Manon”, Butter cream, Liquor and Crème Fraîche filling? Not only Ganache and Praliné. And sure I forgot some as so many small Chocolate Chef in Belgium
Yeah I live in Belgium and our fries and chocolat is the best in the world. Our dutch community is not very social but you will get Friends if you just do the thing you like. Come visit and learn our conutry. Don't forget the chocolat tho.
Go and visit Anderlecht, Schaerbeek, Molenbeek, very nice neighborhood. You missed the very best of the best of Brussels.... Nices people friendly, polite, clean streets, well educated. Top high educated. Its a great pleasure. Think about it when you will come back again.
@@aryamanbhadauria1584 No, simpleton. That has even nothing to do with it. Not every problem of Belgium has to do with Muslims. In fact, only a small minority of problems of Belgium have to do with Muslims (a.o. the drug-trade in and around Antwerp as main European port for drugs, where they shoot little girls dead of fellow-Muslims).
@@aryamanbhadauria1584 Like I stated I'm not living in Brussels anymore. And, yes, it was a small problem that needs to be dealt with on a very simple way.
0:45 "Hi I am Elodie I was born in Brussels and I still living here after 30 years..." is it that people tend more to leave Brussels than living in Brussels?
I like how at 2:28 he says " grab a seat and make some friends " lol the Dutch are not even fond of making new friends. In my experience they're actually more closed off.
Depends per group and what the mood is I'd say. if they're having a chill talking evening. Ye ofcourse they're gonna be thinking you're weird and a bit closed off because they would suddenly need to speak a different language. But if it's a party with music and all.. Ye nah I don't think anybody is closed off then. especcially if you brought your own drinks :P
barely you will find dutch in Brussels, they do even put any dutch speaker in the video LMAO. Brussels is more multicultural with people from all around Europe and world. Dutch people usually stay at Flanders where everything is cleaned, organised and everyone speaks dutch (They speak better english than French speakers but they jsut don't want to speak English lol)
Fortunately Brussels has something else to offer than only beers. Your video starts in insists very much on alcohol even as if it was the first criteria of attractivity to visit a big and old city in Europe.
Tbh it is a big part of belgian culture, surely not everybody drinks beer, but a lot do. Also it's placed last in the top 10, so not to high. It could have ranked even higher in my opinion 😉
Of the three official languages German ist the least common. Bear in mind: About one percent of Belgians are native speakers of German and they live in a small area on the German border. You may get along with German up to a certain extend because , of course, you may find German residents in "our" European capital and certain percentage of Belgians speak German but they may as well Spanish, Italian, Arabian or Lithuanian.
She forgot “Crème Fraîche” filling and the “Manon” typically belgian chocolate, “Butter Cream “ filling, Liquor filling. I don’t think she’s a real expert in chocolate by resuming chocolate in “ Ganache and Praliné “
Going by the performance of the Brussels Mayor and the banning of a Conservative meeting, the best thing to do with Brussels is leave and not support or become part of their communist regime.
Ik zou graag Brussel bezoeken om de stad en de omgeving te ontdekken. Ik zou graag een par dagen er blijven. J'aimerais savoir ou les bruxellois passent les jours, ailleurs des lieux touristiques. Peut-être quelqu'un me peut donner quelques conseils. Ich bin Berliner, da und anderswo bin ich auch immer auf der Suche nach dem wirklich authentischen Stadtleben. It would be great to discover that some time in Brussels,too. Ya veremos cuando llegaré a conocer la ciudad. Desde luego, me encanta su multiculturalidad como capital europea. Dona la impresió que es puga trobar gent de totes les llengues i cultures del mon en el lloc.
Good video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!

Should've added Cinquantenaire! Young people always go there at day and night for either chilling or going out and it's so so so mesmerising
Is this a park?
@@MaZaCar_Xiaoyu yes. It's called "Jubelpark" in Dutch.
I love Brussels. Nice people, good beer, wonderfu bar and eateries.
We are drinking Kwaks at the pub right now! What a great recommendation!! ❤

i was there in 2019! The fries, the chocolate,and the waffles omg! delicious.... oh yes! and the beer is 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
And the dirtiness of the streets, no?
This is a very nice city, I hope I can visit again in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
It breakfast? Bad
Mr Falafel does actually have the best falafel in all of town. If you need a cheap but filling and an extremely satisfying meal, go there!
Hello Bob, I was watching this video and I didn't expect to see you, I'm your neighbour in the building, what a coincidence 🤩😄
Thanks for the guide!
Super cool video! You really captured Brussel's spirit
Yeah, as long as you mean 1000 Brussels. The other 18 communes don't get a look in.
Very nice video! I'm planning a visit in November! Thank you for the tips!!!
Thanks. Very useful. I am visiting in June 2022. Discovering beer is number ONE on my list!
Avoid the restaurants in Rue de la Montagne (opposite the cathedral) and avoid the restaurants at 'Rue des Bouchers' + area. They're not belgian/brussels, although they claim to be. They're just expensive useless tourists traps.
Even inside the gallery?
Actually, Bob is not standing at Place Ste. Cath but at the Vismet. Ste. Cath is on the other side of the church!
The renter of appartments offered vegan dandelion seitan, dont know if that os belgian food or hers but that was the most delicious food I ever tried. She said you can love vegan food if you only can be creative in the kitchen😍
Brussels is the city that has everything you need❤️
but not everything you want
Nice informative video. I’m planning to visit Europe. Will include Brussels in my trip for atleast a 3 days visit to enjoy all these places
Must go back to Brussels and do it right!!

Another great thing about Brussels: you can easily visit the nearby Flemish cities of Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges! They are even more beautiful 😍
It would be so great to live in Brussels, and be able to visit those other cities when I wanted to get away, plus the coast in the summer.
Sure. That's the best thing of living in Brussels... 😉

Americans don't like being called that because they think it only means poor people.
Good video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
