In Brussels we took a taxi to our hotel called the Sandton. This was a modern hotel, fairly new and in a great location.<\/p>\n<p>The vibrant atmosphere of Brussels is enhanced by picturesque medieval streets, lively squares, beautiful boulevards, impressive monuments, spacious parks, cosy caf\u00e9s, interesting restaurants and an active cultural life.<\/p>\n<p>We could walk to old town and most of the sights were in easy walking or bus distance. We spent 2 days and got tickets for the on and off bus , which was a great way to see everything. Brussels is a gorgeous city and a great walking city. We enjoyed all the sights. The food was excellent.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_185\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
