First visit to Brussels, Belgium 10-11.4.2012

Bryssel, Brussels

I found the cheapest flights from Finland to Egypt through Brussels, and because I have never earlier visited Belgium, I extended my stopover in Brussels and stayed there one whole day. Because of the public transport strike I walked to the Hostel Louise for 1 hour 15 minutes.

Autoworld

Brysselin automuseo, Autoworld Brussels

I went to see Autoworld Brussels with a collection of 250 cars.

Military museum

Brysselin sotamuseo, Military museum Brussels

I went to Military museum, because I wanted to see the panorama from the triumphal arch, but because of the rainy weather I was not allowed to do so.

Manneken pis

Manneken Pis

Grande Place – Grote Markt

Manneken Pis on toinen Brysselin tunnus, tosi pieni patsas, joka tällä kertaa oli puettuna. Matkamuisto- ja suklaakaupat olivat pullollaan Manneken Pis -kamaa.

I visited Grande Place two times, both at daytime and at late evening. Central, one of the three main railway stations, is located wery close to Grote Markt.

Atomium

In the end of the day I went watching Atomium from outside (metro Heysel). You wouldn’t guess, that this futuristic looking building was built already in 1958.
