  • Saint-Michel Cathedral

This is one of the less ornate Roman Catholic church. Although, it was pretty popular among Belgian royals, as they used this very church for many weddings and funerals. Though it is less decorative, it is known for its splendid stained-glass windows. The best part is that some of these windows depict wonderful stories. One such story depicted is the miracle of the host. Well, known French writer, Victor Hugo called this church “the purest flowering of Gothic style.” Apart from viewing the church, visitors can visit the archeological site too. Though you have to pay an additional fee to do this, it has been recommended by many.

  • Mini-Europe

Most want to go backpacking through Europe and even more want to view all the wonderful sites of Europe. However, unless you have a huge wallet of cash and 3 years to spare, this might not be on your list of things-to-do. However, mini-Europe, a theme park in Brussels makes sure that this is possible. True to its name, it is Europe, in a miniature version. You can see the London’s Big Ben, Paris’s Eifel Tower, Athens’s Acropolis, Venice’s canals and gondola’s and so much more.They not only have miniature building replica’s but also interactive attractions such as the Berlin wall. This is the best holiday destination to bring your little ones to.

  • Atomium

The Atomium is a symbol of Brussels. It is a well-known Brussel attraction.

It was originally built for a fair but has ended up staying up there till now due to its popularity. It was built by the architect Andre Waterkeyn. This stainless-steel structure depicts the molecular structure of Iron magnified at 165 billion times. Some spheres are used to telecast a show about human life called the Biogenium. This is a visual treat to feast on, which looks even better during nights. This is a fun place for kids to hang out and is the ideal holiday destination ideas. Although, sometimes the crowds can be large. Also, this may not be the ideal destination on a hot summer day. So, do plan accordingly.

About Me

Hey! It’s Amanda from Turn of the World. I started my blog to share some more personal travel tips with the world! I grew up in New Jersey and always though that there was more to life than my home town. When I turned 22 I decided it was time to explore and saved all my pennies to travel the world for a year. That was 2 years ago and I haven’t stopped since. I find ways to work while I travel and make some money writing online to enable my travel-bug.
