Brussels still has HIDDEN GEMS! (Complete travel guide)

Are you looking for the BEST guide to traveling in Brussels? Wondering where to find the hidden gems that others don't know about? Maybe you're looking to escape bad weather, or to beat the crowds. You'll find all that and more in this complete Brussels Travel Guide!

This video has four main sections. In the first, we cover the main and popular sights in Brussels - Grand Place, the peeing boy, the main foods Belgium is famous for, and more! The second section covers some of Brussels' more unique sites, include the Brussels peeing dog, a cemetery with an interesting past, and some quirky foods. Section 3 covers Mini Europe and the Atomium, and the last section covers Brussels' Train World (which genuinely surprised us!).

22:17 "Game Over" referring to video games is a rather brutal 1-page comics series.
23:22 This mural depicts Nero (on top) and other main characters of the comics series with the same name. He and his author Marc Sleen (RIP) have their own comics museum in Brussels.
There are 3 comics "schools" in Belgium. 2 are Franco-Belgian, one known as "Marcinelle", more offbeat with head figure Spirou, one more uptight, "Brussels", head figure Tintin. The 3rd one is Flemish, rather disconnected from the other 2. Head figures are Suske en Wiske (aka Bob & Bobette or Wanda & Willy).
This is very general information, check the internet for way more details.

The Mona lisa is usually not the authentic painting either, they have a lot of replicas that they switch it with.

I love how you presented our beautiful capital! Happy you had an amazing time

[katyaosadchykh]

What a beautiful earrings! Thank you for your support 🙏 it’s very important for us🇺🇦
And of course thank you for your video, it was interesting to watch and get some new information! We are going to Brussels on Valentines Day ❤️

[classichollywoodfan]

Great video.
Nice to see unusual places of Brussels.
Precision: The Royal Palace you visited is where the king works and where they have all official events of the kingdom of Belgium.
The Royal Family resides in another palace in Laeken, a Brussels area near the Atomium .

6:53 NOT Fritland ! Every tourist ends up there. Apparently fries are good but prices are high for what you get.
8:01 Manneken Pis is a symbol for the authority defiant (and humorous) "Brusseleirs" (citizens of Brussels). There are 2 more peeing statues, a girls and a dog, to discover in Brussels.

A very informative and quality video log. You guys did an excellent job. Well done 👍

[baisaj]

Well, dang it! I was totally DONE with my Brussels planning (will be there next week) and decided to watch this anyway, and now I have to fit even more into my trip. Hahahahaha. (Seriously, thanks for the tips!)

[GuyWets-zyyt]

Excellent video. U know well Brussels now, I mean not especially for tourists. Greetings from Brussels🍀🍀🍀🇧🇪

[onyva]

Nice video. Well done for getting off the beaten track. As a Brussels resident there were a couple of things here that were new to me. Better (IMHO) than the comic museum is to download from the tourist office the walking tour of the comic murals across the city. PS the game you saw was pelota, a very local, unusual game - you were lucky to see it.

[ehmmmjay]

Oh wow, it's the Tales from our Pockets: the Movie!

[Kanadalp]

Hilarious! While you were being distracted playing rock paper scissors, pickpockets were working the crowd gathered watching you.

[louisliou]

I'm louis, it's my pleasure to meet you at Chishang this afternoon, your video is so great.

[mimicrybypravesh]

Great vide, guys!! Love all your videos. Just a quick fact. The most famous Belgian comics are the Tintin comics which are extremely popular in our country.

[michimichannel]

Thank you🌹🌹💖💖

[poeticaeinterculturalidad]

Excelente guía de la extraordinaria Bruselas

[rajeshchauhan]

Hai Am from India. Nice your vlogs & most beautiful topic I sey to you the waffle is nice & sweet but... There Belgium climate is always cold . The sweet food is perfect for a health???

[d.thieud.]

Muscles tip: you use the shell of the first muscle you eat as tweezers to pluck the rest out of their shells
unless the first one came apart a little which they often do when you pluck them out with a fork, because they you've got bits of muscle dangling out. in that case you use the first shell to obtain the 2nd shell and then the 2nd to obtain subsequent muscles

[marphil]

We eat mussels with empty shells. Btw: we don't say the King and Queen of Belgium, but the King and Queen of the Belgians. Because they are not ruling over us, we are not their subjects, they represent us, that's why we say "of the Belgians ".

[sarahstevenson]

Hello! Great video! Can I ask how much time you spent at Mini Europe and the Atomium? 😊
