We splurged in Brussels and stayed in a budget hotel. The in-room sink and locking doors were much appreciated.
The Belgians love their beer. Beer is undoubtedly the alcoholic drink of choice amongst Belgians, and the wine menus we had grown accustomed to were replaced by beer menus of equal girth. The Belgian love of beer stems from the country's penchant for being conquered by beer brewing nations.
The Manneken Piss, or "little man piss" in English, is one of Brussels more-famous statues.
The people of Brussels have different costumes and outfits which they dress him up in on special occasions.
Like the beer, the architecture in Brussels is heavily influenced by the different nations that once controlled the area. While it is mostly Gothic, German, Dutch and French motifs and concepts can be found throughout the city.
