How We Experienced the Top 8 Highlights in Brussels in a Day - Snehal

We actually decided to do a Day Tour from Amsterdam to Brussels. The Train Ride is about 2 Hours from Amsterdam Central Station . The Trains in Europe have such a fantastic Network of Trains and the seats are so comfortable that makes the Journey a pleasant One .

Having our Tea and Croissant, favourite breakfast while travelling . The Croissant is so soft and we just love the breads here.

We reached Brussels Station and not too far from the station is the Stop of Hop On Hop Off Bus , the stop is close to the Station and we took the Blue Line Bus Route as we wanted to see Atomium and Grand Place both which are at two different ends of the City so for us Blue Line Bus was good .

The Hop On Hop Off Bus has a audio guide as well which tells you about the history of each place . It is a very nice Ride . It completes One Loop in 90 Mins .

We saw the Iconic Cathedral Eglise Notre-Dame De Laeken

 Also crossed many beautiful Gardens and Parks one such was Parc De Laeken – Royal Parc

Finally we arrived at the magnificent structure Atomium , a landmark structure in Brussels .Next to Atomium is Mini- Europe Park. We first decided to explore Atomium and then Mini-Europe. There are 6 Spheres in Atomium and we decided to take a Tour and reach the Top for some great Views .

The View from the Top are Breath-taking. You can also see Mini-Europe Structures .

There is a nice Restaurant at the Top so we enjoyed this Place with some refreshments.

Say Cheers from the Top !

Next we headed towards another Popular Attraction in Brussels , Mini-Europe . It houses miniature Versions of the UNESCO listed sites in Europe & UK .

So if you don’t Plan on Visiting all these Original Sites , you can Visit their Miniature Versions here . So lets start with Leaning Tower of Pisa .

And next was the Iconic Site of London – Palace of Westminster

 Then we noticed there was the Grand Place , the famous Place of Brussels along with it's annual event of flower carpet which is held at the International Flower Arrangement which takes place every year Mid -August in Brussels .

 How can we Miss the famous Eiffel Tower and Atomium in One Frame !

There are 350 Miniatures here of famous Sites so you definitely need an hour or little more time to see the park and get your favourite clicks as well .

Truly a wonderful experience for us .

Back on the Road heading to Grand Place now after seeing the Miniature Version now time to see the Original One .

 The Hop On Hop Off Bus Stops at Manneken Pis Statue and you will be surprised by the number of Visitors this Place gets .Not too far away is a female version of this , its is called Jeanneke -Pis just about 600 meters from this Place .

There are So many Colorful Chocolate miniatures of Manneken Pis Statues in Chocolate Shops .

It is truly fascinating, looks like a dreamy Chocolate City the One we have heard in Fairy Tales .

Just about a short lane walk 300 meters is the Grand Place . Just like its name it is humongous and difficult to get the Grand Place in one single Picture .

There are some fantastic Cafes behind and one could try the food or Desserts here . We tried the famous Waffles at Maison Dandoy , and we recommend must try it , Just next to Grand Place .  Then we wanted to try some More desserts so we were chilling at a Café at Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert , a Glass Roof Mall .The Place is close to Grand Place a has many stores for shopping , Cafes and Chocolates Stores .

Yummy Yummy !

 So we Could see all the Top 8 Attractions in a Day’s Time in Brussels from Morning to Evening . Then we returned back to Amsterdam .
