What's interesting in Brussels?

The architecture in Brussels is a major feature of Belgium. It contains many elements and cultural symbols. We should have heard the story of the statue of Lian Po, which is a must-see for tourists. You can also go and have a look.

From the moment the train slowly left Cologne, I felt a little unhappy, because the end of my trip to Germany meant that I had painstakingly planned my trip to Europe for nearly a year, and there were only 19 days waiting for my gray visit. As of today, when I wrote the article, two days have passed. Ah, it's really a blink of an eye, looking forward to the stars and the moon to travel, and watching the time pass in a blink of an eye. Although happiness is eternal in life, how many hardships and pains do we have to go through to achieve this theme and reach the other side of happiness? Sitting on the train, the scenery outside the window also became a little gloomy, which deepened my gloom.

However, since I came to Brussels, my mood changed immediately. Oh, it turns out that this is the political heart of Europe, this is the ancient city built by the Muse, and this is the apple of God's eye. Looking at the beautiful buildings standing around the big square, traveling is really the only way to prolong life, and your mood will suddenly change with the surrounding scenery. Any glitz will give you ripples like dragonflies, so that

Brussels has an intoxicating delicacy. Let's take the grand square as an example. Compared with the squares in Milan, Paris and Berlin, the square area is naturally incomparable. The square, like Belgium's land area, can only eclipse neighboring countries, but its exquisite architecture has reached its peak. Anyone who comes to the square should stop carefully, turn around silently, look at every building in the square and appreciate the cloisters, spires and spires of every building. Every sunken window must be a clever mural. This huge white building has been filled with countless saints and angels, so that you can't see the walls at all. A luxury that goes deep into the soul impacts your heart and makes you rush in and catch it. He opened his mouth wide, as if he could swallow all kinds of heartfelt admiration in one gulp. Looking sideways, it is a scarlet wall, which is slightly similar in color to the court in our country, but it is not a solemn treasure, but a chubby angel and a delicate trumpet. The thick path on the grass, the elk lamb pressed by the protagonist, is so lifelike that people can't help but smile. The whole building seems to take off and break into your heart. Next to the building, this is a pattern with green characters on a white background, but wearing a golden felt hat on his head, lifelike, just like a simple and honest child, timidly looking at strangers in the snow. Maybe this building is a gift from God. Otherwise, how can you be so approachable? The name of the Brussels Stock Exchange looks resplendent and brightly lit. This is a three-story pink building with an antique appearance and elegance. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, the building has been painted with a layer of indifferent gray. Just like the veil of a girl in the Middle East, we can still see her amazing charm through the gap of sunshine. The buildings around the Grand Plaza, after being carefully crafted by the masters, are no longer invariable stone brick walls, but beautiful women with different personalities, yet elegant and elegant, making eyes at tourists from all over the world. When you first arrive in Europe, you will be amazed at the beauty of any square, but if you look at it for a long time, you will be tired of aesthetics. Finally, it's normal. But Brussels Square, which really caught my eye, found the feeling of entering Budapest for the first time two years ago. A graceful and surging beauty, from my eyes to my heart, is rare in other places.

There is a luxury street in Brussels, the Gallery Street of Saint huber, which is a bit like Milan's street, but without Milan's kitsch. The street is glittering with gold and famous shops, which makes people dumbfounded and prostrate themselves at the feet of gold and silver. Although the streets of Brussels are also carved with beams and painted buildings, the money is not bad. On the contrary, every statue here, every exquisite design, is full of romantic background, which makes us look more gentle and comfortable. If the luxurious street in Milan is like a rich woman in the north, then huber Street in Brussels is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with a paper umbrella and a soft word. You won't be shut out because of her luxury. On the contrary, you will boldly go in and appreciate every exaggeration and excitement here. Even if most of them can't be bought, it won't make us feel inferior. This is the nearest place in Belgium.

The charming delicacy of Brussels is so vividly reflected in desserts that the name of Belgian chocolate is famous all over the world. Who knows, most of the top ten chocolates in the world are in Belgium. It can be seen that the Belgians have carved chocolate into the bone marrow. In Brussels, it reminds people of Japanese desserts. The Japanese will cultivate the buds of food with their souls, thus producing the most vivid flowers. On the other hand, the Belgians gave dessert a new meaning. In their hands, desserts are sculptures, famous paintings and art, and it seems inexplicable to strive for perfection. Stopping outside the glass window, I saw people carefully holding waffles in their hands and dripping chocolate as skillfully as their own children. They look casual, but in fact they are very creative. Every gesture is just right. You need to take the swing of joints as an art. If you didn't need to eat such masterpieces, your lips and teeth would have been stuffed with saliva. When you put it on the table, you can't bear to throw it away. Who can bear to swallow such a perfect life? In huber Gallery Street, you can see many elegant chocolate shops. It's really a visual feast to walk in and enjoy every chocolate with different shapes. Alas, only the Belgians can bring Rococo style into such an unparalleled country.

The beauty of Brussels is also reflected in the elegance of the canvas. Belgium is the hometown of Fleming School in16th century. The master Rubens lived and worked here, leaving too much cultural heritage for Belgium. Although most of them have been scattered overseas and looted by invading troops such as Napoleon, there are still many treasures in various parts of Belgium. In Notre Dame Cathedral in Antwerp, there are Rubens' triptychs "The Statue of Jesus on the Shelf", "The Statue of Jesus on the Shelf" and "The Ascension of the Virgin Mary". These three famous paintings reflect the master's skillful brushwork and changeable brushwork. Strange to say, perhaps only the Japanese can blend into Belgium's elaborate mentality, so that Rubens' favorite country turned out to be Japan in the Far East, especially this cathedral, which was also adapted from Japanese animation, claiming that "only by visiting Notre Dame here can you get a real marriage". Many Japanese people have crossed the ocean to seek dharma, and they can't help but smile. There are also many famous paintings in the Royal Belgian Classical Gallery. There are two representative works, one is Bruegel's The Crime of Rebellious Angels. The painter is the founder of the school of custom painting, but this painting has a strong medieval style, but the expression of each angel and devil also highlights the humanistic characteristics of the late Renaissance. Death of marat, a Neoclassical Painter, is very famous. It was written in the history textbook of middle school in China. Not long, but very shocking. There is no ferocious face, and there is not much red blood. However, overall, it caused anxiety and panic. It is really a master's handwriting, and a few strokes are exciting. There are many other artists' works in the art gallery, especially the famous paintings by Anthony Van Dyke and Jacob Jordan of Flemings School. Space is limited, so I won't say much here.

It is hard to imagine, and it also makes people cry deeply. Such a beautiful city has been overshadowed by terrorism. Brussels is called "the capital of terror in Europe" and "the city of donkey education", which makes everyone feel sad and sad. According to my observation, Muslims in Brussels do not advertise on TV, accounting for a quarter. Maybe they are all poor and too busy to crawl around the city center, but the probability of encountering headscarves is significantly higher than that of Germany and Eastern Europe. Terrorism makes people pale and gnash their teeth. Of course, we can find some chapters similar to cults from Islamic teachings to criticize, but this cannot fundamentally interpret the mystery of terrorism in Brussels. In my opinion, Europe naturally has the soil of terrorism, and political correctness is the hotbed of terrorism. After the extreme right introspection of World War II, Europe suddenly became a saint who accepted all rivers, and refugees flocked to it. Although they filled the gap in the labor force, they didn't find a suitable theory to absorb it. Europeans always put multiculturalism first and freedom and human rights on the table. As we all know, multiculturalism has caused the isolation and reunion of immigrants. Because the two cultures are incompatible, when you don't emphasize the mainstream identity, so that Muslims have no ways and means, no motivation and mood to understand your culture, unconditional multiculturalism will come. The multiculturalism you play keeps you away from foreign cultures. Over time, Muslims have been diversified into an inherent collective by the banner of multiculturalism. This collective is far from modern civilization and has become a cancer of society, which is out of control.

One more thing, from Belgium alone, there is an invisible window under the exquisite glass cover, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter the core here. The French-speaking population in Belgium is the majority, and there are also a large number of Dutch and German speakers. These locals discriminate against each other and it is difficult for them to cooperate with each other. How can they especially respect immigrants? Terrorists grew up in groups to keep warm. In Brussels, it seems that you can feel the hatred of the poor. I eat in a restaurant, where there is a special service area for the poor, selling extremely cheap junk food and entertaining blacks and Arabs. It seems like a boon to them, but don't you think they will hate it if they see us eating exquisite waffles and drinking sweet cheese next door? I have never seen a poor man force his way into a first-class carriage in Europe. A black man was kicked off the bus by the ticket inspector today. The helplessness and indignation in his eyes really made me shudder. The poor in Brussels seem dissatisfied with the status quo. The government has given them so many benefits and benefits that they have to challenge the authority and privileges of the rich. Why? Aren't those invisible exquisite glass windows preventing them from integrating into the mainstream society? Therefore, in my humble opinion, any immigrant country should try its best to accept refugees; And while advocating multiculturalism, we must emphasize the recognition of mainstream culture, including Australia!

In Brussels, there are not only embarrassing urinating child Julian, but also exquisite and beautiful chocolates. The beauty of Brussels is not as flashy as that of Leng Yan, but also adds a layer of human smiles and sweetness. Without the prosperity of Milan, there is an ordinary calmness and elegance; Without Prague's brilliant pens and flowers, life will be more docile and modest; Without the majestic atmosphere of Berlin, there is a kind of casual and calm aesthetics. This is Brussels. Even if terrorism leaves a stain that is difficult to remove, it can't hide its beauty and exquisiteness, and it still makes people intoxicated for thousands of years. Please remember my oath, I will definitely come again, Brussels, this is a Millennium agreement between you and me.

Brussels is the capital and largest city of Belgium. It is also the seat of the main administrative organs of the European Union and is called the capital of Europe. It is also a city where more than 200 international administrative centers and 1000 official organizations meet every day. This city has a history of 1000 years. It is built around the palace and along the "small ring", which complements the surrounding museums, skyscrapers and medieval ancient buildings. Official languages: French and Dutch, currency: Euro. Free travel is simple and easy.

My trip always takes two days. On the first day, Dusseldorf went to Brussels. Three cities in western Germany (Cologne, Dü sseldorf and Aachen) are very convenient to three countries around Germany (Netherlands, Belgium and France). Flying is not recommended. Trains and buses are very cost-effective choices. I chose to take FlixBus and take me to Brussels North Station in three hours, which is very convenient. After staying in the hotel, the trip to Brussels began. Here I divide the scenic spots in Brussels into the inner circle (Grand Square) and the outer circle (European Union, suburbs). On the first afternoon, I planned to go to the outer circle first. Here, we recommend Brussels 24-hour traffic link (7.5), which is very cost-effective.

Take the subway to a scenic spot: Royal Square, which is located on one side of the Royal Palace in Brussels and is the commanding height of the old city of Brussels. In the center of the square is the riding statue of the commander of the first Crusade, and the large classical building behind it is Sint-Jacob-op-de-Koudenbergkerk. The buildings around this square are symmetrical. They are all neoclassical buildings in18th century, including Brussels Palace, Koninklijke Musea Voor Schone Kunsten van belgi, Magritte Museum, Musical Instrument Museum, etc. Admission to the art museum: 3 pounds. Unfortunately, this palace is only allowed to visit in summer.

After turning in the square, take the subway to: place du grand Sablon place du petit Sablon. Little Sabran is a garden in the middle of the street, telling you the story of people in low-lying countries who rebelled against Spanish rulers in the16th century. Saberon refers to Notre Dame Cathedral in Saberon, which is beautifully carved, surrounded by many antiques and coffee shops, and there is a small church not far from the square. Sabran cathedral is not allowed, and the chapel is free to visit.

Then take the tram from Sabran Square to the Palace of Justice. Tip: The three scenic spots are actually on the same main road (Rue de Ruysbroeck), which can be reached within ten minutes' walk. However, there are wayward traffic passes, so it is very important to save energy ~ The Judicial Palace is the most important court building in Belgium and a landmark in Brussels. It is a combination of modern and classical architecture. The total construction cost of the Judicial Palace is 45 million Belgian francs, which is the largest construction project in19th century. At the end of World War II, the retreating Germans set fire to some buildings and the dome collapsed. The restoration and reconstruction work was not completed until 1947. In front of the Palace of Justice is Paulard Square. In the center of the square stands an infantry monument to commemorate the Belgian infantry who fought bloody battles in World War I and World War II. The monument was built on a high platform overlooking the center of Brussels. The English inscription records: "Infantry who died for the country". Tip: There are no tickets for Justice Palace, only Mondays are allowed.

After visiting the main scenic spots on the road, we took a bus to Cinquantenaire Park. The 50th Anniversary Park is a large city park, located in the easternmost part of the European area of Brussels. Most of the buildings around the park were built by King Leopold II of Belgium to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Belgium's independence. The Arc de Triomphe in the middle was built in 1905. The whole body is made of iron, glass and stone, which symbolizes the economic and industrial situation of Belgium at that time. Nearly 30 hectares of park green space consists of small gardens, ponds and waterfalls. At the beginning of the 20th century, many expositions, exhibitions and large-scale celebrations were held. From 1930, this place has completely become a place to relax. Royal Armed Forces and Military History Museum are located in the north of the park, joubert Park Museum and Automobile World Museum are located in the south of the park, and the Temple of Human Passion and Grand Mosque are located in the northwest corner.

Go through the park and come to the European College. I saw the street separated by a straight central axis, with the government office building and the European Union building on both sides. It's a little deserted here. Pedestrians walk fast and seriously, giving people a sense of oppression. Famous buildings include Le Berlaymont, which belongs to the headquarters of Council of Europe. It's a pity that you can't visit.

Get up early the next morning, half a day in the morning, and visit the last three scenic spots that deviate from the city center before the pass expires. The first scenic spot, the famous European Parliament, is the only directly elected parliamentary body and the legislative, supervisory and advisory body of the European Union. The European Parliament, Council of Europe and the Council of Europe are the three major institutions of the European Union. You don't need to make an appointment, you can buy tickets here, and we will have a part-time tour guide from the Council staff for free. It is open every hour and the security check is very strict. There are armored vehicles and armed security guards at the door, and photos are not allowed! I am very happy to be here, the legendary headquarters of the European Union. I must remind you that the parliament has repeatedly restricted access. Students who want to visit had better check the opening information of the EU headquarters online in advance to avoid disappointment.

After spending about an hour at the EU headquarters, the next attraction is also world-famous, the landmark of Brussels: the Atomic Tower. The Atomic Sphere Tower was built in 1958 for the Brussels World Expo. It is 102 m high and consists of nine interconnected spheres with a diameter of 18 m, which symbolizes that an iron atom has been enlarged by16.5 billion times. The panoramic hall of the top sphere can enjoy the amazing scenery of Brussels and even overlook Antwerp when the weather is good. At night, nine spheres shine with 2970 LED lights. It takes more than 20 minutes to get here from the penultimate subway station. It takes a long time to queue up at the door to buy tickets. It is best to make an appointment online in advance. Admission: 8 people.

The last scenic spot that many people will miss that deviates from the city center is Basilique Nationale du Sacr-Curkoekelberg, a Roman Catholic temple and sanctuary inspired by the Sacred Heart Church in Paris. As the sixth largest Catholic church in the world, Sacred Heart National Church is located at the top of cocker Berg, so it is also called cocker Berg Cathedral. Built of reinforced concrete and bricks, this huge church features its twin towers and 89-meter-high dome, which stands on the northwest skyline of Brussels. Admission: the church is free, Tower 5.

At this point, all the scenic spots around Brussels have been visited, and the rest is the urban line with the big square as the core. Take the subway directly to the children's community to pee at the last time of the pass. Not far away, at the corner of a street, is the symbol of Brussels: the statue of the child who peed, also known as the child who peed. This world-famous bronze statue of the little boy is a statue and fountain in the downtown pedestrian area. The statue of this five-year-old child is not big, but it has a history of nearly 400 years and has many tourists. The street around the children is a paradise for dessert parties. All kinds of dessert shops are next to each other. There are all kinds of waffles in front of the door, which is dazzling. The smell of the street made my appetite increase on the spot! On this day, I tasted at least five dessert shops, and my conscience recommended: Maison Dandoy, whose home is the best!

After eating and drinking here, we walked past Everard T Serclaes and came to the central square of Brussels, which is one of the most beautiful squares in Europe (and one of my favorite squares): Brussels Grand Square. This square was listed as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO on 1998. The square is small, with a length of 1 10 m and a width of 68 m. All kinds of bars, shops and restaurants are dotted around, which makes the square full of rich life breath. Every two years in August, there is an unparalleled carpet in the center of the square, which is 77 meters long and 24 meters wide. Millions of colorful begonias will form various beautiful patterns. Brussels City Hall is the most important building around Brussels Grand Square, and it is a medieval Gothic building. The middle tower is 96 meters high. The whole building looks very elegant, symmetrical and exquisite. Take a closer look at the portrait above. They are lifelike, including saints, happy couples, sinners and so on. Directly opposite the city hall is the Brussels City Museum. The second floor of the museum is called "Xiao Yulian's wardrobe". There are hundreds of puppet models showing Xiao Yulian's clothes, and there is even a special fitting room with many clothes hidden in drawers. There are many tourists in the square, so it is not convenient to take pictures. I stepped on it for a long time in order to find the perfect shooting location. Finally, I ran to the second floor of La Brouette restaurant on the west side of the square, trying to get a panoramic view of the square (the restaurant needs money, so I ordered a glass of wine and tried my best to take pictures). I recommend everyone here: the big square at night is also very lively, especially the night view of the square is beautiful. Under the reflection of the light, the ancient buildings are colorful and beautiful, and it is worth waiting until nightfall.

After visiting the Grand Plaza, you can go out to Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, which is a paradise for shopping, leisure and entertainment. Under the roof of the long and narrow arched glass house, Italian Renaissance storefronts are located on both sides of the corridor. St. huber's Promenade consists of three parts. The main parts are the King's Corridor and the Queen's Corridor, each with a length of 100 meters, and a smaller Prince's Corridor. The promenade was completed on1May 6, 846, which took 18 months. 1847 completed the 2 13m long corridor on June 20th. The promenade is full of fashion shops, antique shops and coffee shops, and there is also a newly renovated cinema built in 1847 and 195 1. It is one of the three royal theaters in Brussels.

Across the long St. huber promenade, the classical building facing you is Koninklijke Muntschouwburg. Go south along the main street and come to the most important church in Belgium: Cathdrale des Sts Michel et Gudule in Brussels, where national Catholic ceremonies such as independence day on July 2 1 and royal wedding or funeral will be held. This church existed as early as 1047, and was renovated into Gothic style in13rd century. The karaoke hall was built from 1226 to 1276, and the facade of the church was completed in the middle of15th century. There are 49 chimes made by the Royal Watch Factory in the south tower of the church, and people can enjoy its wonderful bells at the concert on Sunday. This church belongs to Gothic architecture. Because there is not much decoration outside the church, the simple lines of Gothic architecture are preserved, and the whole church looks slender and eye-catching and can be visited for free.

After visiting the church, climb north to the Parliament Square in Brussels, where the Parliament Pillar is located. At first, the parliamentary column was built to commemorate the Belgian government and constitution founded by the National Assembly from 1830 to183/kloc-0. Then, on June 5438+0922165438+1October 1 1 day, five unknown martyrs were buried at the foot of the monument, with long open flames in front of their graves. 1998, Belgian victims were added to the memorial column for the second time after the end of World War II. The third monument is dedicated to Belgian soldiers who have given their lives for peace since 1945. The last scenic spot not far from the Capitol is belgian centre for comic strip art, the hometown of cartoon characters Tintin and Smurfs. The exhibition here includes cartoon characters that we are very familiar with, such as Tintin and Smurfs, and the works of more than 670 other cartoon artists. It also tells the development history of comics in detail. There is a Chinese version, which can be described as a nostalgic trip. Tickets: 7.

I just walked back to the hotel here, and my trip to Brussels is coming to an end. In the evening, we have dinner behind the big square opposite the Brussels Stock Exchange. That street is full of Asian-style restaurants, and students who are not used to western food will eat well.

Brussels has a good overall impression. I am satisfied with moderate consumption, convenient transportation, delicious restaurants and many dessert shops in western Europe. I was lucky enough to come here with a tour group three years ago. Belgium is one of the earliest countries in Europe. I was a stranger, so I chose to follow the tour group. The whole trip was very tight, and many scenic spots were in a hurry, which made me miss a lot of beautiful scenery and food, leaving a lot of regrets, and also made me set a banner of never following the tour group again and going free to the end. After the king came back, he finally visited the city completely.
