Brussels has many lodging opportunities based on your budget. Hotel Amigo will offer you five-star service for About $250 a night, Hello Hostel will offer you a room for $15 a night and various other option in between. Brussels is known for chocolate, waffles, fries, and beer. The author makes sure to mention several stops to have some of the famous cuisine, along with a walking tour that would give you several other food options. Chocopolis, Rue des Bouchers, and Mary are just a few options that sound appealing and look amazing based on the pictures the author uses. Two cultural tourist attractions the author mentions are the Grand Place, a stunning place with gorgeous architecture, and Theatre Toon which promises a unique perspective to the history of Brussels. I think a trip to Brussels would fall under cultural tourism or culinary tourism. Brussels offers great options for both types of tourists. A Director of Tourism would highlight the food, culture, and low-cost tourist attractions to attract tourists. Most visitors could spend a whole day just exploring the 15 free things to do in Brussels listed in the travel blog.

The lodging opportunities in Brussel consists of many hotels. The Warwick Brussels is a luxurious hotel in the heart of Brussels. The hotel is 2 minutes away from the Grand-Palace and Brussels Central Station. The hotel Brussels is one of the tallest buildings within a 15 minutes’ walk from Grand-Palace. The author describes the area thoroughly such as when they talked about the Galerie du Roi and the Galerie de la Reine. There is also the Belgian chocolatier store with their mouth-watering displays. The Comic Strip Trail is a must if the traveler wants to understand more of Brussels’ culture. The Royal Palace of Brussels is open to the public in the summer and when the flag is on top of the building, it means the king is inside the country. A visitor would travel to this destination because of the remarkable buildings. From viewing stunning churches to relaxing in the city gardens and parks. As the Place du Petit Sablon has 48 bronze statues that depicts medieval professions. The Director of Tourism would use this information to attract visitors by describing the historical and cultural sights.
