Lived there for a year. Meh.

Bit boring all round.

Good beer and good people.

Icaras

Was there for a weekend, very warm, cheap beer, nice people mostly.

"Europe's hole"

A blank space, which has simply tended to reflect the power dynamics in Europe, depending on who occupied it.

They did invent chips alright.

RichardCeann

Any country whose national dish is mussels and chips washed down with loads of good beer is alright in my book.

Apart from having some nice chocolate, I don't really know what else they do well.

I went to Bruges for 5 days with an ex. Thebeer was good, and some great chocolate there too. My ex loved the wafel mit slagroom. It rainy nearly all the time we were there, and I wasn't used to that, being from Ireland.

I love Brussels, a great city, great food, drink and nightlife. I can see why your typical Irish muldoon would hate it

I think they lack a proper identity given their proximity to other countries.
12 million odd of them though.

Spent quite some time in Brussels over the years. Just another city, not much of great interest. The people were nice, the beer great, bit boring too.

crockholm

Lovely cities,Brugge,Leuven,Genk,Antwerpen (Bruxelles was a lot less impressive imo),some of the finest of European architecture coupled with fantastic,cheap and dependable public transport,a rich History,the best beer in the world.I met mostly Vlaamische people,not too many Walloons,but there were A1 in my book,very nice scenery.
Would readily recommend as a place to visit.
You're cool by us Belgium.

drunkmonkey

Antwerp is a nice city, great beers, easily lose a weekend there. Stupidly easy to get bombed on the beer.

ISOP

some great red light action too up around gare du noord, great great city

Fr_Dougal

It's like a fucking fairytale.

I've never been but I love waffles, chocolate and Kipling bags.

I know two Belgians and if they're representative of the general population, then it's a land of lovely people with kind hearts and gentle voices.

My first time, was like a porn/beer cruise with work.

Incredible time but spent something like 36 hours on coach, ferry, walking around, porn shops, bars.

It was quite an eye opener. We were all as green as. Two or three girls or boys or variations of, going into the boothes. And back again for seconds. If we'd have had overnight accomodation - well who knows

Went to a place called Sluice - spelling is obviously $hoite

pickarooney

I've been there about twenty times but never once by design.

pauliebdub

It's ok overall. Loved Bruges and Antwerp. Brussels is a bit of a dump to be honest, boring and run down.

the evasion_kid

Been a few times,first time was with a few mates and I was like why Belgium?!? Had a ball there and didn't want to come back.

Grandeeod

Duvel is fantastic, but I still havent forgiven Belgium and a corrupt Portugeuse referee for destroying our chances of qualifying for the 1982 Soccer World Cup.

Therefore I will never be in Bruge or any other part of it.

Pee'd on the streets of Ostend waiting on a ferry. That was my only revenge. I'm classy.

I find that if there is one city in Europe seasoned travelers (especially non-Europeans) enjoy bitching about, it's Brussels.

Brussels or Milan.

What's a muldoon?
