This was really good. I love the historical and geographical context you give. I am visiting Brussels for only one day and I appreciate your insights and suggestions.

[@pauli2169]

Amsterdam is only 2hours from Brussels, Paris is 1.5h on the TGV high speed train. Belgian food is much more than you mentioned and is very reasonable outside the tourist trap restaurants around Grand Place. Carbonnade Flamande, Waterzooi, Boulettes sauce tomate or sauce Liege, vol-au-vent and filet americain are all Belgian classics and very reasonably priced.

[@kdebaerdemaeker]

Thank you for promoting Brussels!

[@pedrobiskupovic473]

Great information. Thanks

[@koryfan]

here right now. thanks for good tips.

[@hellotabasco]

Thank you for all the tips. I would like to know what temperature (C) and type of wheather should we expect in Janaury?

[@oliverstemp9132]

@@hellotabasco It will be cold. 5-12 Celsius. Overcast/rain.

[@dalensajero6805]

Brugge is an outstanding day trip from Brussels.

[@horseplop9]

I like all the tips. Ill be there soon. Food looks killer

[@roddymarcellus9739]

Thanks for the tips. I have 2 questions. 1. I'm going to Brussels next month do I need ESTA to travel there? 2. Is there's a train from the airport to La Bourse street? I think it's Intercity direct to Brussel Central, I'm not sure.

[@flitsertheo]

The visa waiver system to the Schengen countries is called ETIAS. It has been postponed several times so you should check online what is the latest "launch" date. There is a train straight from Brussels International airport to Brussels Central station (it doesn't travel further to Brussels South station). You can walk from there to the "Bourse", takes about 5 to 10 minutes.

[@renaatwalleyn1000]

Nice video! One thing Paris is def not 4 hours away by train it’s actually around 2 and Amsterdam aswell! Amsterdam to Paris takes 4 hours 😉

[@jme104]

You must be confusing Lyon and Lille . Lyon is near the Alps and the swiss border .

[@TalesFromTheRoad]

What is your favorite thing about the land of cheese and waffles?

[@sonjaverlinden7993]

@@TalesFromTheRoad The beer in between 😉. And Belgica since Roman times.

[@Frahamen]

Rule one, very important here: DONT (only) go to tourist traps. Brussels have an amazing art and music scene you should check out, there are plenty of parks and a very old forest within the Brussels capital region. Drink a beer and eat fries, but don't go to the few fry shops where all the tourists go and go to any café that's not on the Grand Place and pay significantly less money in a way more authentic setting. Manneke piss is tiny, so don't get disappointment. As allready said, don't stay just in Brussels city because it's the capital, some pretty cities not mentioned in the video worth visiting are Leuven (realy close to Brussels) and Brugge and smaller but cute ones like Dinant and Tournai. Also waffles like they sell for tourists with all the cream and chocolate and all are not realy authentic Belgian food. Belgians eat waffles like that only on like birthday and are usually only eaten with different types of sugar and maybe jam. The secret national breakfast/ snack is koffiekoeken, those are a whole selection of sweet freshly baked cakes you can find in bakeries and aren't that expensive either.

[@nikimoens6773]

Nice video, but Paris is only 1,5h and Amsterdam 2 from Brussels. Also national dishes def to try are stoofvlees (beef stew) with fries and our vol au vent (chicken stew). Waffles are actually more a tourist thing, Belgians don’t eat them that much 😅

[@ToyyHill]

Were the Belgium's part of Germanic tribes 2 to 3 thousand years ago.

[@flitsertheo]

No. What is now Belgium had its own tribes : Eburones, Belgae, etc ...

[@shazyboy227]

Brussels to Paris 1hr 30min by train

[@SamDin-i6c]

So keep saying that

[@maximilllllien]

¨Brussels to Paris is only 1H30 by speed train Eurostar /TGV

[@dalensajero6805]

Fries in a paper cone - with mayonnaise.

[@flitsertheo]

The traditional way, but then in plain "newspaper" paper and usually larger than the "tourist" size of those decorated cones.

[@webfreezy]

Chapters please!

What about safety?

[@sonjaverlinden7993]

Like he said in the video.

[@IsackIsack-c6m]

@@Bella20241 very safe , , n pleasant to walking around at night 😇

[@GianniDN]

@@Bella20241 I have been to Belgium many times and it’s very safe.

[@flitsertheo]

One warning : don't call fries "French" fries.

[@Ledamz523]

I lived 10 years in this rat hole that try to pass for a city, my best advice, don't go there
