Atomium & Heyzel area Brussels

Manneken Pis Brussels
28 Reviews "Is that it?" everyone says, just like they do with the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen, and it is perhaps the best comparison as it has the same tourist trap feel to it, but at least Manneken has...

well should my uncle ever realised that, he might have been still alive ! This is an excellent beer served in the Southern part of Belgium. I had it when I was in Luxembourg province.
The manneken pis - pretty small & surrounded by tourists queueing up to take photos. Nice to say you've seen it but if you're stuck for time give it a miss.
Stay away from the 'Rue des Bouchers' in Brussels. It's worse than junkfood and ten times as expensive. And another thing : you'll survive not seeing 'Manneken Pis'. buy the post card...haha
Brugge is reliant on tourists, so be prepared to pay over the top for anything.
Warning about he credit card system: almost each bank have its own card ;-) Some businesses like gas stations do not accept 'normal' card!
