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!

Try to catch the Market Square during sunset; it transforms completely with the changing light. I had the best evening just soaking in the vibe and snapping photos!

Check out the local cafes for breakfast! I found a lovely spot serving delicious waffles at a reasonable price - way better than the overrated tourist traps.

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.

After your visit, treat yourself to some Belgian treats at a nearby café. I had the best waffles just a short walk away, which was a nice way to wrap up my day!

Check the opening hours before you go, as they can vary depending on the season. I realized too late that they close early on some days, which cut my visit short!

Make sure to grab an audio guide for a small fee; it adds so much depth to your visit. I skipped it at first and regretted missing out on the history!

I recommend visiting on a weekday if possible, the crowds are way thinner and you'll have better access to those stunning views. My experience was a lot more relaxed than the weekend rush!

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.
