chilli13 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Apart from beer(hoegarden, leffe others etc) I would not mind any suggestion to include for long weekend visit in euro city? Is there any (thai) temples for instance? Has the global warming hit the city yet & other good info, hotel? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drogon Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 About hotel, tell us by PM if you want, the price range you are looking for? I never heard about a thai buddhist temple in brussels although there are buddhists temples. Apart from beer, the classical are. If it is open to the public, visit the european institutions. The royal palace, the grand place with Manneken Piss. If you are more into cars, visit the cinquantenaire with autoworld museum. If you are into military things, same location but royal military museum. etc.... Here is the link to the brussels tourist office (you can select english) http://www.bitc.be/ One thing: be cautious with restaurants especially in " tourist crowded places", the food tend to be crappy, the prices very high...... If you want to know something more do not hesitate to PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelgianBoy Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 ib13, Yes, there are 2 Thai temples here, one in Waterloo, one in Mechelen, both not worthy of visiting IMO. And also yes, Brussels is worth visiting, the old centre is grant to do, even on your own, just be prepared to know what you want to see. Then again, Brugge is one hour away from Brussels by car or train, well worth the visit, so is Gent, Antwerp or even Leuven if you are into lotsa of old stones.....

limbo Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Waterllo is interseting as well, if you want to stand on top of a hill.......... BB suggestions of the other cities around Brussels is valid, I espeically like Antwerpen, but Brussels in itslef is good enough to spend a few days.

Guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 " there any (thai) temples for instance?" Actually a couple of hours drive from the well attended Gent and Antwerpen streets, there's an impressive monument to urban disaster. Amazing to see people actually live there. It's named Liege inlocal dialect. If U think Ur TGF is getting overexcited by living standard in europe, just bring her over there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I think TGF not too excited as she's well aware of the huge costs of daily living in euroland! Thanks for extracurrilar brussels activity suggestions, but as the train to brussels is only 2 hours from here we don't plan spending further time around Belgium even I'm sure there's interesting enough things to see... So EU(perhaps only open workdays?), grand place, royal palace & a few museums will keep us busy not too mention french fries, choclate, monastary beer etc. Any (authentic) thai restarants to be recommend? E.g. Isaan preferred if they do a hot som tam & sticky rice? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
