Brussels, Belgium Solo Trip

Solo trip to Brussels! I've been having the best time solo traveling lately and I really hope you enjoy the vlogs. Brussels was beautiful and, in my opinion, is a great place for solo travellers. I felt safe and comfortable and everyone was really friendly and welcoming. As I said in the video I kind of randomly picked Brussels and it wasn’t somewhere I’d always dreamed of going, but I’m really glad I went. Below are some of my recommendations of things I did and enjoyed.

I’m planning to do a sit down video taking all about solo travel, so if you have any questions or topics you’d like me to cover, please let me know!

Links for things I mentioned:

Food places
-Batavia - Indonesian Cafe
-Fin de Sciele - Traditional Belgian Food
-Maison Antoine - Frites
-Chocolaterie Mary - Chocolate
-Mussel Mongers - seafood, but I only had cheese croquetts
-Foocha - Asian Canteen & bubble tea

Areas in Brussels:
Freedom Quarter - where My Little Cup is. Seemed more quiet and residential when I was there, but I was only there briefly.
Dansaert - trendy area with lots of restaurants
Sablon - I didn’t actually go there, but I read good things and it’s apparently the most luxurious area in Brussels

Great video. I’m heading back to Brussels in April, really enjoyed my time there, traveling solo as well. Was there last year, and missed a few things. Didn’t get a chance to go to that frittes place (Maison Antoine) last time, so will go this time! Brussels has some amazing Art Nouveau buildings by Victor Horta and others (Victor Horta museum too). Definitely worth going to see on your next trip.

I have been doing solo travel before Covid and I totally agreed about how you it feels at first and being anxious about what ppl think of you by yourself but slowly you get to understand that nobody cares and you just need to enjoy yourself :)

Next time you go in Belgium, I strongly recommend Antwerp. It’s amazingly vibrant.

I'm going to Brussels (among other places) on a solo trip this summer, so this was really perfect!

Thank you so much for this. I’m going to London alone next month and a day in Brussels.

As a solo traveler myself, this has certainly inspired a trip to Brussels! Very well put together and fun to watch. Thanks!

hi! i'm also going solo to brussels this summer 💛your vlog simply makes me want august to come sooner!

I love this and your Florence video. I went to a few of the places you recommended on there. Like you mentioned, I found dining alone so hard, and constantly struggled with what others may think of me. It was exhausting!I definitely need to work on that!

Hi Emily! I really love your videos, they inspire me to try solo travelling myself. :) I've never tried before, so I'm a bit afraid, but you make it seem so easy. I recently purchased the portable door lock you showed in this video. Thank you for the recommendation! May I ask if it causes any trouble if you want to take one on an airplane? I know you travelled by the Eurostar to Brussels but I wanted to ask if you ever took the door lock on flights. Thank you for your answer. :) Happy travels!

I will be in Belgium this September 2024. Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp and Brussels are on my list to visit.

Great video. I was trying to figure out where you're actually from. I figure somewhere on the west coast...
Exploring new cities absolutely rocks and you just reminded me how great it is to travel through Europe!

Belgium is such a gorgeous and unique country. 🇧🇪 Stunning architecture, vibrant colours, and beautiful language. You seem so optimistic and kind. 😊♥️

I am traveling solo to Brussels this coming weekend, so catching your vlog was timely! Thank you! (And I have ZERO inhibitions about dining solo. No one gives a sh*t haha.) Although I have tons of friends, family, and a partner, I am still an introvert and still LOVE to travel alone, and people just accept that about me, lol.

Fries Place Jourdain are nice but it is very crowded as it is listed in all the tourist guides...
