If that makes it interesting then it is no longer the most boring city, so the title would be given to a new city, which would then become interesting for the same reason, and basically it would just start a cycle that would continue until it is determined that every city in the world is in fact interesting.
@kevincorroyer101 Here is what historians say : The fries are of Parisian origin. In the 1780s, sellers of fried donuts set up shop on the Pont Neuf in Paris. They would have been the first to have the idea of dipping slices of potatoes in frying, probably around 1800. At the beginning of the 19th century, they sold them on the Pont neuf, on the quays of the Seine, Boulevard of the Temple and around the theaters. In the 1830s, the fried potato became the symbol of popular Parisian cuisine. It becomes an identity and appears in all plays, novels, songs relating to the Parisian people. You could say that fries were born at that moment. The stick-shaped fry appeared, still in Paris, in 1840 at the latest. Arrival in Belgium Around 1842, a Bavarian immigrant, Frederik Krieger, learned to make fries in Montmartre. In 1844, he set up as a showman in Belgium and opened the country's first fries shack (baraque à frites), boasting "his potatoes fried like Paris". The Belgians then discovered fries and welcomed them with kindness. Frederik Krieger made his fortune and inspired many followers.
I was on a European tour. I remember Brusseles most of all European capitals. It is very beautiful in the evening. I also ate free chocolate. 10/10, I recommend.
Brussels is a seriously underrated city. Much more than just a stop between Amsterdam and Paris. They have some incredible art museums, too. And yes, the food is quite special. Mayonnaise with fries. So good! 😂😂😂😂😂 Famous for mussels, which isn’t my favorite thing to eat. Chocolate and waffles, though. 🤤
You can stop at Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague (Scheveningen) Antwerp, Brugges, Ghent, and you will have a better time. Belgium is amazing, just not Brussels
@@alexpainter6036 I’ve been to all those cities, except Ghent and Antwerp. Believe it or not, I’ve spent the most time in Utrecht, because I stayed with a family for several weeks. Haarlem and Delft were my favorites, other than Amsterdam. Rotterdam is mostly a new city, since it was destroyed in WWII.
I've been there several times before. It's definitely NOT the most boring city in the world. The people are very friendly there and the city overall has a very good vibe.
Last time I had to go there we were robbed. Unless I have no choice, I'm avoiding it. Also, the pavement, while authentic and beautiful, sucks when you're disabled. Nope, last visit was he'll. We were lucky we still had our dang car keys. If we ever go again, I'm definitely leaving before it gets dark. But it's generally too crowded for my tastes anyway 🙃
Best waffle he could've tried was from Dandoy though, not some random touristy shop around the Grand Place. I once brought two Marines there from when i worked at the US Embassy, they got teary eyed over how good the waffles were :'D

"Boring" has been a backhand compliment for 50 years. Charlotte Hornet Larry Johnson loved Charlotte because "There ain't nothing to do here but live". To me, it was about the nicest thing he could say.
@@TSERJIthe most interesting thing about Charlotte is its urban architecture Uptown - outside of that, its really just a place to live (and work). It doesn’t have museums or landmarks that would rival any other city of its size. Not even a food scene.

Brussels is the the kind of city we’re you go out on Friday and you come back on Sunday evening cause there’s always something to do. The parties never stop. Especially during summer
Fries are not from France - it is from Belgium. It is called French fries because this dish was discovered by American soldiers in Belgium during World War I and, since the dominant language of southern Belgium is French.
Fake news build by Belgium people because it's the only symbol food they have with waffle. It's french, describe by Victor Hugo book when he walked along the Scene, before it exist in Belgium ...
@@Tyrex95210 that's why there's a manuscript from 1781 discovered by Jo Gérard that says fries have a Belgian origin. Ppl in parts that now make up Belgian started with frieing small fish from around 1680. In wintertime because the lakes would freeze over, they used potatoes instead.
Oh please!!! A city constructed in the MIDDLE of a hot desert with harsh unliveable summers where people run from airco to airco! It's not boring, it's just unliveable! 6 months out of the year Riyadh is just plain hell!
I just visited Brussels and liked it a lot. From the countries I've visited, I honestly think France is not good. At least all my luggage got stolen in my first day there and had a bad experience with the people there even when I tried speaking the language instead of my own. I get that the whole country is not bad as I was impressed by the Eiffel Tower and other architecture, but I would definitely go back to Brussels over Paris any day even if it's the most boring according to Google
Trying to speak french when you can’t speak it properly was a mistake. They aren’t really into that. The french in general are a bit of a different breed of people and when you visit france, you have to know that. I love how they are, maybe because it’s different or whatever. Keep in mind: Every country is different and before visiting you should inform yourself about possible odds. Makes life much easier. And there are many many cities and places in France apart from Paris that i personally find much more attractive.
Agree! people in belgium mostly can speak english or at least try to help foreigner that needs help. Unlike in France, is hard to survive if we did not speak french 😢. even only asking a simple help such as which direction
@Prof.Dr.Diagnose I was aware of their uniqueness. However, I would rather visit a country where the people are not too hostile to foreigners imo. What really surprised me about France was how well known it is (many over hype the country with how amazing their visits are), but in reality, I was met with a cold the environment (at least to me who was trying his best at following the customs felt this way). Everyone told me one should speak French over there, otherwise, they treat you like crap. Some still treated me badly for just trying to speak the French I had learned so far (I felt some of the comments I got were uncalled for). Everyone should have their opinions about other countries, and I bet they change over time. For now I prefer visiting other countries, since I can have a better time there. Maybe someday I might start liking the country more, but I just didn't enjoy my first visit there
I love Brussels. It’s one of my fav places to visit. I don’t think it’s boring at all. And outside of the tourist attractions there are other things to get into. It’s a beautiful wonderful city.
As a Malaysian living in the UK, Brussels is actually one of my favourite cities… It’s funny because everyone says they hate it, yet it’s packed to the brim with tourists every time I go.
Thise is why we call it french fries: American soldiers stationed in Belgium were first introduced to French fries during World War I. As the official language of the Belgian army was French, soldiers nicknamed the delicious fried potatoes “French fries." The name stuck, and decades later we're still giving credit to the wrong country.
Nope they were actually in invented in France. Oldest writen records of people frying potatoes come from France. And beer and is also from Bavaria, Germany, not belgium
Telling this story is like telling that Marco Polo brought pasta from China. It’s having heard a story repeated over an over without it being true. They called it French because it was cut in Julienne style. But by historical record, it is French so not the wrong country. The Belgian just perfected it.
@@justanotherhappyhumanist8832 do you understand what julienned even means ? The belgians didnt invent fries, they didnt invent beer and they didnt invent waffles (which are also french)
Brussels is one of my favourite cities, Friendly people, coming from diverse backgrounds and tones to do day and night.. and lets not forget about that car-free center and amazing Architecture . only downside is how expensive it is
Brother forget we in europe and if you speak about architecture of course you think about Italy first even tho the architecture is all over Europe , and of course my last result probably will be Belgium but at last .
Belgium is awesome!! The food and beer are second to none. All there is to do is walk around the beautiful Brussels city center and stuff yourself with waffles, chocolate, fries and hotdogs. I'll take that boring life any day!
Went to Brussels for a couple days. Was actually super excited cause their was a comic book convention going on and I love Belgian comics. Smurfs and Astrix and Obelix carried me through my teenage years. So shout out to the Belgians for that
Brussels for me was one of the most pleasantly surprising location I have ever been to. I ended up there randomly, because I had free time and the flights were cheap and I absolutely loved it!
Couldn't agree more with you. You Belgians actually came up with the Fries. The Main reason it's called "French Fries" is probably because it sounds fancy and it's matched with a letter F
I‘ve been to both. You’re correct. Bakersfield rolls up the sidewalks at night. It’s also too hot and high crime. Brussels is a seriously beautiful city and I loved it a lot. Great food and museums, and open minded people. They were one of the first countries to legalize gay marriage. 😂😂😂
He never mentioned the chocolate, Chocolate shoppes everywhere making all varieties right in the store. A chocolate paradise. And it’s an attractive, manageable city.
The atomium represents 9 iron atoms in a BCP crystalline structure. Iron-ically, originally the balls were made out of aluminium and were dull grey. After a lot of discussion and questions about the high cost, they finally changed them into shiny stainless steel (i.e. iron) balls... It was originally not in iron because it wasn't meant to last. It was built for the world exhibition only and was supposed to be torn down afterwards. It took almost 50 years to finally end the discussion and make it awesome again. #MAAA - Make Atomium Awesome Again.
Belgian here. Brussels is dysfunctional, smelly, overly complicated (what most people call Brussels, is actually a region with 19 municipalities), relatively poor but it is most definitely not boring.
@@ShotsMerkzAllexpats and EU workers that don't have to pay taxes, which means they make everything more expensive but contribute barely anything to our country...
@@ShotsMerkzAllPeople work in Brussels but do not live there. That’s why it’s the region of Belgium with the highest economic output but also the residents with the lowest average revenues.
@@ShotsMerkzAll He's from the North of Belgium... criticizing the rest of the country is a regional hobby over there, don't mind him. It's quite sad, every other comment is positive. But some municipalities of Brussels are indeed quite poor, while others are rich, and you have everything in between. Pretty much like everywhere else.
There’s a restaurant in Brussels that serves steak on a hot rock to cook as you eat it. The same restaurant has over 150 different types of beers to choose from. That place alone was worth the trip!!
Hello from Argentina ! When i was teenager i've got in gift a CD from Def Dames Dope , that music was so crazily lovely that i used to believe all Belgian people were that way in every order of their lives
I live there for 7 years when I was younger. Historically and gastronomically, it's an amazing city with a lot to do in and around the city. Granted, doesn't have theme parks or this generation definition of "fun stuff". But there's a crap ton of museums from history to comic books, royal palaces, incredible parks, and a rich culture of food. After been gone 31 years, I'm actually going back next month for 5 days and I CANNOT wait.
@@forceforceforce They are known as "patat" in Holland, "chips" in England, and "pommes frites" in France. Spain patatas fritas or papas fritas. Throughout the world, such condiments as ketchup, vinegar, and mayonnaise are used to enhance the taste. Do you travel much?
I'd agree with you if I didnt run into a lot of french people claiming france did. Of course they were invented in Belgium but that's not gonna stop people from trying to poach it
@@Frozhiir in France they called pommes frites. They’re called french fries by American not by the French and the French don’t claim they invented french fries. Anecdotal at best
I never heard anyone in my life saying pomme frite when talking about fries. In Belgium we say "frites" and in every French video I saw everyone says "frites"
The food looks great, I would definitely visit! Wonder what the criteria was for it to be considered boring, was it because of having limited tourist attractions or nightlife? 🤔 Would you say it's safe there?
I have been this year to Belgium for Tomorrowland. We visited 3 times in total. Nothing boring about it, gorgeous country, very rich country, amazing nightlife and especially during summers.
@@insouthafrica2313some parts aren’t that safe though, but it depends on how you want to compare safety against. It’s no Japan, for example but it’s nowhere near like a city where guns and the like is legal and (crime) gangs rule the streets, those crime gangs exist here too but far, far less spaced out or isn’t made out of the whole population but as a general rule, you won’t find all the crimes happening all over and gangs are more subtle than portrayed in some crime (gang related) movies. But just be sure to guard your stuff against pickpockets and don’t leave your backpack unattended, just the normal standard common sense tactics are good enough here, no need for pepper spray (which is illegal here, also the blades of knives need to be shorter than the width of the palm of your hand or those are illegal as well, even a baseball bat or a screw driver can be seen as an illegal weapon, depending on how and why you have those so generally they aren’t as common everywhere as maybe some other parts of the world). To be honest, Brussels isn’t all that interesting as some other places in Belgium, depending on what you like, you would miss out on a lot if you only go to Brussels (I’m nowhere near like a tourist guide though so I would advise anyone to do some research based on your preferences)
Brussels is arguably a better night out than Amsterdam. Amazing food and beer, and you can take day trips to nearby Ghent and Bruges. One of my favourites.
I was there 35 years ago, I visited the city by bike mounted on the train from Antwerp, where I had arrived by ship in my time as a merchant seaman. I was been very interested in the Atomium, that I had seen in books in my childhood, more than 50 years ago.
Brussels is an amazing city where I spent the most beautiful years of my childhood. I visit Brussels very often and even as a grown up, I still find many things to do and to discover!
I don't know about that, I traveled to Boston from Atlanta on a historical school trip during my junior year in 2002 and I really enjoyed my time there. The traffic was especially horrendous though, which is something since I'm from Atlanta LOL.

Been like this since the 80's
But you got to be carefull you Don’t get stabbed in the Subways or in the clubs
i agreed

Fries are not from France - it is from Belgium. It is called French fries because this dish was discovered by American soldiers in Belgium during World War I and, since the dominant language of southern Belgium is French.
Fake news build by Belgium people because it's the only symbol food they have with waffle. It's french, describe by Victor Hugo book when he walked along the Scene, before it exist in Belgium ...
@@Tyrex95210 that's why there's a manuscript from 1781 discovered by Jo Gérard that says fries have a Belgian origin. Ppl in parts that now make up Belgian started with frieing small fish from around 1680. In wintertime because the lakes would freeze over, they used potatoes instead.
Its the way they are cut.... that story is a fabeltje
True its called French Fries because in USA the way they make it is frenching but they maked it shorter in the name.@aqwzsx179
@@SDFootballedits no. To french is Irish word.
As a Belgian I don’t think Brussels is the most boring city in the world. It are the people who make it feel boring that are boring
If you find Brussels to be boring, try Riyadh 😂
Oh please!!! A city constructed in the MIDDLE of a hot desert with harsh unliveable summers where people run from airco to airco! It's not boring, it's just unliveable! 6 months out of the year Riyadh is just plain hell!
Why is Google like this to us 💀💀💀
I just visited Brussels and liked it a lot. From the countries I've visited, I honestly think France is not good. At least all my luggage got stolen in my first day there and had a bad experience with the people there even when I tried speaking the language instead of my own. I get that the whole country is not bad as I was impressed by the Eiffel Tower and other architecture, but I would definitely go back to Brussels over Paris any day even if it's the most boring according to Google
Trying to speak french when you can’t speak it properly was a mistake. They aren’t really into that. The french in general are a bit of a different breed of people and when you visit france, you have to know that. I love how they are, maybe because it’s different or whatever.
Keep in mind: Every country is different and before visiting you should inform yourself about possible odds. Makes life much easier.
And there are many many cities and places in France apart from Paris that i personally find much more attractive.
The French are pricks. What else is new?
Agree! people in belgium mostly can speak english or at least try to help foreigner that needs help. Unlike in France, is hard to survive if we did not speak french 😢. even only asking a simple help such as which direction
@Prof.Dr.Diagnose I was aware of their uniqueness. However, I would rather visit a country where the people are not too hostile to foreigners imo. What really surprised me about France was how well known it is (many over hype the country with how amazing their visits are), but in reality, I was met with a cold the environment (at least to me who was trying his best at following the customs felt this way). Everyone told me one should speak French over there, otherwise, they treat you like crap. Some still treated me badly for just trying to speak the French I had learned so far (I felt some of the comments I got were uncalled for). Everyone should have their opinions about other countries, and I bet they change over time. For now I prefer visiting other countries, since I can have a better time there. Maybe someday I might start liking the country more, but I just didn't enjoy my first visit there
@@fabianugalde3789 Don't worry, we Belgians don't like the French and their pretentious pompous ways either
Glad you enjoyed! Visit Athens next, it’s Incredible ❤😄
May i guess where you're from?
I love Brussels. It’s one of my fav places to visit. I don’t think it’s boring at all. And outside of the tourist attractions there are other things to get into. It’s a beautiful wonderful city.
As a Malaysian living in the UK, Brussels is actually one of my favourite cities… It’s funny because everyone says they hate it, yet it’s packed to the brim with tourists every time I go.

I love it too, lol. That city is so alive on September!
Thise is why we call it french fries: American soldiers stationed in Belgium were first introduced to French fries during World War I. As the official language of the Belgian army was French, soldiers nicknamed the delicious fried potatoes “French fries." The name stuck, and decades later we're still giving credit to the wrong country.
Nope they were actually in invented in France.
Oldest writen records of people frying potatoes come from France.
And beer and is also from Bavaria, Germany, not belgium
Beer was invented in Mesopotamia in the ancient times @@hidenname541
Telling this story is like telling that Marco Polo brought pasta from China. It’s having heard a story repeated over an over without it being true. They called it French because it was cut in Julienne style. But by historical record, it is French so not the wrong country. The Belgian just perfected it.
@@hidenname541you're talking out your ass. They already made beer in ancient Egypt.
@@justanotherhappyhumanist8832 do you understand what julienned even means ?
The belgians didnt invent fries, they didnt invent beer and they didnt invent waffles (which are also french)
Bruxelles is a luna park. I say this as an Italian. Real wild night life
There is a saying, Brussel give what Paris promises
finaly someome to mention it thank you
I really liked the city, its far from boring. But the nightlife was, in fact, disappointing.
@@juanlima2763Because the majority of the scenes are underground
Brussels is one of my favourite cities, Friendly people, coming from diverse backgrounds and tones to do day and night.. and lets not forget about that car-free center and amazing Architecture . only downside is how expensive it is
It’s one of the worst European cities I’ve been too and the natives are a minority
Me who lives in Belgium: "ugh...here we go again...everyone forgets about the weather..."
Fr it's mostly rain or sun or cold or H O T and thé ibjust chill💀
@@connordhooghe719 ikr
The typical "welkom in België" with the unpredictable weather 😅
Beautiful city and even better chocolate. If you don’t appreciate art, architecture and baroque culture in general it’s probably not for you.
And best beers ;) you may try and compare in delirium cafe ;)
Brother forget we in europe and if you speak about architecture of course you think about Italy first even tho the architecture is all over Europe , and of course my last result probably will be Belgium but at last .
@@tchoulll you dont have to go the delirium cafe tourist trap every belgian bar has a decent selection of beers
The architecture there is so well detailed I could spend hours seeing those beautiful buildings and I'll not be bored
Definitely not boring. Travelled last summer and I loved it. I reckon it is one of the most underrated cities in Europe.
Belgium is awesome!! The food and beer are second to none. All there is to do is walk around the beautiful Brussels city center and stuff yourself with waffles, chocolate, fries and hotdogs. I'll take that boring life any day!
“ food is second to none “.
WTF I just read.
BS 🤡😂
Brussels is the 3rld world jungles
gooooood thqt you mentionned frozen touriest trap food when we have one of the best clubbing scene in the world
Went to Brussels for a couple days. Was actually super excited cause their was a comic book convention going on and I love Belgian comics. Smurfs and Astrix and Obelix carried me through my teenage years. So shout out to the Belgians for that
From all the examples you can give you chose Asterix which is French ahahaha
@@gaelledlm3866Herg'e!!!! Was he not the Belgian illustrator of Tintin????
@@Tali5899 Yes he is
I actually live there, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay 😊
Brussels for me was one of the most pleasantly surprising location I have ever been to. I ended up there randomly, because I had free time and the flights were cheap and I absolutely loved it!
I am from 🇧🇪belgium
For the people's that say 🍟🍟 are french fries
These🍟 are Belgian fries.
Couldn't agree more with you. You Belgians actually came up with the Fries.
The Main reason it's called "French Fries" is probably because it sounds fancy and it's matched with a letter F
As a Pakistani i knew
@@christophermichaelclarence6003Incorrect they were invented in France (proven by historians)
Indeed. Invented by French but today a belgian specialty (and they are good at it)
French fries are french and belgian. The history don’t know the exact version. Two version exist, but belgian fries are better of course 🇫🇷🇧🇪

Whoever says Brussels is the most boring city in the world has clearly never been to Bakersfield CA
I‘ve been to both. You’re correct. Bakersfield rolls up the sidewalks at night. It’s also too hot and high crime. Brussels is a seriously beautiful city and I loved it a lot. Great food and museums, and open minded people. They were one of the first countries to legalize gay marriage. 😂😂😂
He never mentioned the chocolate, Chocolate shoppes everywhere making all varieties right in the store. A chocolate paradise. And it’s an attractive, manageable city.
The atomium represents 9 iron atoms in a BCP crystalline structure. Iron-ically, originally the balls were made out of aluminium and were dull grey. After a lot of discussion and questions about the high cost, they finally changed them into shiny stainless steel (i.e. iron) balls... It was originally not in iron because it wasn't meant to last. It was built for the world exhibition only and was supposed to be torn down afterwards. It took almost 50 years to finally end the discussion and make it awesome again. #MAAA - Make Atomium Awesome Again.
If you think the capital is boring imagine the rest of the country
you live in a bedroom with a laptop and never have been anywhere

Don't care about Belgium but where did you get your shirts from?
Brussels is one of my fav city in west Europe and actually not boring at all. Love Belgians they are all open minded ❤
Not like in Amsterdam, London, Paris and Stockholm.
Bro! This place looks amazing, I’d love to go 🙏🏽
I love Brussels! Greetings from Malmö
In Malmo and Brussels the natives are a minority 😢
Funny that both cities are rape capitals of europe💀💀
Brussels is absolutely amazing! Boring is definitely not a word I'd use to describe it
Brussels is amazing. The fries and waffles alone are worth the visit. The beer is amazing too, on par with German and Czechia
Belgian beer is world class.
As a belgian, you've got all my respect
he paid correct homage to our fries! 😎💯
I'm emotional...🥺🍟🇧🇪
@@ZaZaRaZarah historical moment 😭 🇧🇪
As a belgian i see the most new people traveling to here are happy and enjoy it here.
I travelled to Brussels last year for 3 nights, it was amazing! I would like to visit again someday 🙂🇧🇪
Belgian here. Brussels is dysfunctional, smelly, overly complicated (what most people call Brussels, is actually a region with 19 municipalities), relatively poor but it is most definitely not boring.
How is it poor? GDP per capita / average wages are pretty high
@@ShotsMerkzAllexpats and EU workers that don't have to pay taxes, which means they make everything more expensive but contribute barely anything to our country...
The smelly bit sounds like Glasgow City Centre!
@@ShotsMerkzAllPeople work in Brussels but do not live there. That’s why it’s the region of Belgium with the highest economic output but also the residents with the lowest average revenues.
@@ShotsMerkzAll He's from the North of Belgium... criticizing the rest of the country is a regional hobby over there, don't mind him. It's quite sad, every other comment is positive.
But some municipalities of Brussels are indeed quite poor, while others are rich, and you have everything in between. Pretty much like everywhere else.
There’s a restaurant in Brussels that serves steak on a hot rock to cook as you eat it. The same restaurant has over 150 different types of beers to choose from. That place alone was worth the trip!!
What the Hell, you can get a Hot Rock Steak in every big City in Germany 😂
Hello from Argentina ! When i was teenager i've got in gift a CD from Def Dames Dope , that music was so crazily lovely that i used to believe all Belgian people were that way in every order of their lives
The thing I like about Belgium, especially Brussels and Bruges is that if they were anywhere else too many people would come to see it. 😅
Thanks brotha, much love from Belgium
Lived in Belgium for four years.
I had a great time!
I live there for 7 years when I was younger. Historically and gastronomically, it's an amazing city with a lot to do in and around the city.
Granted, doesn't have theme parks or this generation definition of "fun stuff". But there's a crap ton of museums from history to comic books, royal palaces, incredible parks, and a rich culture of food.
After been gone 31 years, I'm actually going back next month for 5 days and I CANNOT wait.
Been there…it has the most beautiful town square in the entire world!
also one of the best clubbing scene of the world that would be nice if people stop ignoring that
@@stkmsl8244 it's really nice but not if you compare it to other cities. But I love to club in Brussels.
The world knows Belgium invented fries only the United States calls them french fries
everyone calls them french fries man
@@forceforceforce They are known as "patat" in Holland, "chips" in England, and "pommes frites" in France. Spain patatas fritas or papas fritas. Throughout the world, such condiments as ketchup, vinegar, and mayonnaise are used to enhance the taste.
Do you travel much?
I'd agree with you if I didnt run into a lot of french people claiming france did. Of course they were invented in Belgium but that's not gonna stop people from trying to poach it
@@Frozhiir in France they called pommes frites. They’re called french fries by American not by the French and the French don’t claim they invented french fries. Anecdotal at best
I never heard anyone in my life saying pomme frite when talking about fries. In Belgium we say "frites" and in every French video I saw everyone says "frites"
The food looks great, I would definitely visit! Wonder what the criteria was for it to be considered boring, was it because of having limited tourist attractions or nightlife? 🤔
Would you say it's safe there?
The food was great! I didn’t really experience the night life & yes I would say it’s safe
I have been this year to Belgium for Tomorrowland. We visited 3 times in total. Nothing boring about it, gorgeous country, very rich country, amazing nightlife and especially during summers.
@@GianniDN Had to look up what Tomorrowland 😳, it must have been epic! I'll definitely try the summer, didn't like Europe winter at all 😭
@@kemoy_martin That's great to know, especially as a solo traveller, safety is a deciding factor.
@@insouthafrica2313some parts aren’t that safe though, but it depends on how you want to compare safety against. It’s no Japan, for example but it’s nowhere near like a city where guns and the like is legal and (crime) gangs rule the streets, those crime gangs exist here too but far, far less spaced out or isn’t made out of the whole population but as a general rule, you won’t find all the crimes happening all over and gangs are more subtle than portrayed in some crime (gang related) movies. But just be sure to guard your stuff against pickpockets and don’t leave your backpack unattended, just the normal standard common sense tactics are good enough here, no need for pepper spray (which is illegal here, also the blades of knives need to be shorter than the width of the palm of your hand or those are illegal as well, even a baseball bat or a screw driver can be seen as an illegal weapon, depending on how and why you have those so generally they aren’t as common everywhere as maybe some other parts of the world). To be honest, Brussels isn’t all that interesting as some other places in Belgium, depending on what you like, you would miss out on a lot if you only go to Brussels (I’m nowhere near like a tourist guide though so I would advise anyone to do some research based on your preferences)
Boring that's crazy!!!! Live in Brussels and it's the most multi activities city that I lived in !!! Brussel ma belle ❤❤❤
Brussels is arguably a better night out than Amsterdam.
Amazing food and beer, and you can take day trips to nearby Ghent and Bruges. One of my favourites.
you missed Antwerp ooooh
Yeah, but sssshhhhhh don't TELL everyone. Someone told everyone about Amsterdam and see what happened?!??!?!!
@@Italliving love Antwerp, it’s brilliant in its own right.

I've been to Belgium and I really liked it. Beautiful city.
We Belgians usually try to stay away from Brussels
why?
talk for yourself
I’ve been there twice and think it’s beautiful. The Museum of Musical Instruments was amazing. Also went on some amazing walking tours.
My friend lost his backpack with passport, laptop, phone and a lot of things in his backpack from a robbery in brussel
So?! It is not Brussels thats boring, it is your comment! Who cares, it happens everywhere everyday!
@@estebantia2413 trigger ???
I was there 35 years ago, I visited the city by bike mounted on the train from Antwerp, where I had arrived by ship in my time as a merchant seaman.
I was been very interested in the Atomium, that I had seen in books in my childhood, more than 50 years ago.
Im from Belgium eventually someone who appreciates our country❤
I'd definitely would like to visit ❤
Brussels is an amazing city where I spent the most beautiful years of my childhood. I visit Brussels very often and even as a grown up, I still find many things to do and to discover!

I think Seattle has Boston beat in that category
@@CilvaRangz at least you can visit Jimi Hendrix's basement in Seattle.
I don't know about that, I traveled to Boston from Atlanta on a historical school trip during my junior year in 2002 and I really enjoyed my time there. The traffic was especially horrendous though, which is something since I'm from Atlanta LOL.
Brussels is a wonderful city, loved my time there.
As someone who lives in Brussels I literally feel betrayed by Google cus there are a LOT of cool things to do in Brussels 😅
Just one (of many) examples: the Arts scene is fantastic . . . SO rich and varied.
Being American I’m surprised he wasn’t overwhelmed at how “old” it is.
Americans usually think anything existing before 1890 is “ancient”
