Seriously, what's wrong with Brussels? Everyone seems to hate it. I myself don't know much the city though the pictures conjure a beautiful and vibrant city.
I had to bear once again the psycho rant on the city from an english tourist, as if it was a shithole worse than Kaboul. So, what's wrong and what's lacking? Those who seem to like it are the French, usually. |

Part of the problem is that most tourists arrive (by train) at the Brussels South station. That station must be in the ugliest part of the city. So their first impression is a bad one...
Another 'problem' is that most people see only a fraction of the city. They go visit the Grand Place and a few surrounding streets and they think they've seen Brussels. They couldn't be more wrong. I personally think the most beautiful parts of the city are outside the (touristic) center. Few people know how far Brussels has come over the last decade(s). In the '80 and a part of the '90 it was a totally neglected city with run-down buildings practically everywhere in the city center. But this has changed drastically. Hundreds of buildings, streets, squares, (metro)stations,... have been (or are being) renovated. Ofcourse there's still a lot of work to do in certain areas, but Brussels is definitely on the right track. And that's what I'm trying to prove with this topic ![]() image hosted on flickr ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/topstep...7622494512756/ image hosted on flickr ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/topstep...7622494512756/ image hosted on flickr ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/topstep...7622494512756/ image hosted on flickr ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/topstep...7622494512756/ image hosted on flickr ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/topstep...7622494512756/ image hosted on flickr ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/topstep...7622494512756/ |
