City Scene: Brussels Metro

The yellow and blue trams of the Brussels Metro sail into Brussels Midi station.

A Walk in the Parc

One sign of a great city is a great park.  In this case, the Parc du Bruxelles in Brussels.  It's a lovely French-style urban oasis with allies of trees, dramatic fountains, and a collection of apparently historic marble busts watching people promenade.  There's even a couple of secluded trails though the denser parts of the foliage which give young couples cover for the canoodling.

Slice of Life: The Low Countries at Their Best

Since the Renaissance, artists have flocked to the Low Countries (Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg) to practice their craft.  Scenes like this show the Old World at its best.  An artist paints the Grand Place (Grand Market in English, Grote Markt in Dutch) in Brussels, Belgium while flocks of tourists mix with locals admiring the plants for sale.
