| Arriving in
Brussels at the central train station, we stopped in to a hotel and got
a map. The prices were around 150 Euro's / nt. So we decided
to look around. Being low season, we told the hotels we only
wanted to pay about 50 Euro's / nt. We finally found one for 65 /
nt., right in the main Grand Place Square. It was nice and also
came with breakfast. I would not recommend showing up without a
hotel reservation during tourist season, but this time of year was not a
problem.
Brussels was nice for a day, that is about all you need to see the major sights in the city. There are many other places in Belgium we would like to see, so we will probably return to Brussels as a stopping point on another journey. |
