A Trip to Brussels

I’ve just come back from a 4 day trip to Brussels! My main reason for visiting, was to take part in the Museum Marathon on International Museum Day last Wednesday (18th May): 1 day, 17 museums, 20km and over 25,000 steps! But I also had some additional time to go sightseeing and see a bit more of the rest of Brussels, so just wanted to share some photos of that here. As you will see, the weather changed from a bit cloudy and murky on my arrival, to blazing sunshine and blue skies by the time I left. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Brussels Cathedral of St Michael and St Gudula

Galeries Royales St Hubert

Picturesque side street

Parc du Cinquantenaire with the Arcade du Cinquantenaire – remind you of anything?

The Belgian flag

Pretty landscaped gardens

Asterix & Obelix mural at a basketball court

The Grand Place – you can see where it gets its name from!

Gilded buildings sparkling in the sunshine

Painted building in central Brussels

The famous Mannekin-Pis fountain

Love the little rooftop garden!
