Probably bad luck...
It might be probably bad luck, but as soon as we got to the subway, some guys tried to pick pocket us. Made us feel a little insecure the rest of the trip. But in the downtown, there are a lot of turists, so not is not that bad.
Brussels Pocket Guide
Think of a city and you normally associate it with something. Think of Venice and images of canals flow into your head; imagine Paris and visions of the Eiffel Tower will come streaming into your mind. But Brussels is different. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what Brussels is famous for. The problem is, there are simply too many things to relate it to. This is where you will find Art Nouveau on every second street corner. It's also home to the European Union. Then you've got beer, chocolate, cartoon murals...the list goes on. Just ensure you have enough time to take it all in.

Brussels
The people in Brussels were very friendly, the centre itself was very easy to get around. I'd recommend visiting the chocolate museum (lots of free delicious chocs) and the beer museum is worth a nosey too, only €5 to get in & that includes a free beer! :-) Delirium is a great bar to go to, busy every night of the week!
Insider Tip:Take a map ;-)

Bruxelles/Brussel
The gritty city of Belgium. Graffiti everywhere! But in a a good way. To me, Brussels seemed REAL. Outside of Grand Place, I didn't feel like I was in a magical, impeccable dream. Instead, I felt like I was in a real city with real people and real history. There is so much history embedded in the streets of this city, that walking around and looking at walls is an experience in itself.
Insider Tip:Check out Grand Place, but don't make that the only stop on your visit. Fork up the euros to go to the Musical Instruments Museum! It's well worth it and a great way to spend a few hours of your afternoon. Listen to a hurdy gurdy and see over 8000 instruments!!
