Top Culture in Belgium

Don't just snap a pic and run. Spend a few minutes checking out the cute little shops nearby. You might find some cool souvenirs!

If you're a fan of street art, wander a bit further from Manneken Pis... There are some really cool murals hidden in the side streets

I suggest getting a waffle from a nearby stand while you're there. They are delicious and won't break the bank!

Get to Market Square early, around 8 AM, to catch the stunning morning light and enjoy the square without the crowds. I loved taking photos without bumping into other tourists!

I think visiting in the off-peak season, like late September, gives you a much more pleasant experience. The weather was still decent, but way fewer tourists.

Be sure to take a stroll around the Belfry after you explore the square. The views from the top are incredible but get your tickets online to skip the long line!

I think the audio guide is totally worth it. It immerses you in the rich history much more than just wandering around. I almost skipped it and would’ve regretted it big time!

Try to visit around 10 AM or 4 PM to avoid the biggest crowds and catch some lovely light for pictures. Trust me, the early risers are rewarded with a more peaceful experience

Check out the Last Post ceremony at 8 PM. It's a touching tribute and truly adds depth to your visit, so plan your day around it!

If you're into history, grab a small guidebook or download an app before you go. It’ll enhance your understanding of the memorial and its significance.
