Going to Belgium in October

[KingG]

For my honeymoon.

Any advice/suggestions/recommendations from those that have been there?

So far I'm thinking of staying in Brussels.

Please send beer. Thanks.

i didn't really care much for Brussels.  it was gray, cold, rainy and we didn't see much to do.

conversely a friend of mine went with his wife for 2 months around Europe and said Brussels was his favorite city "by far".


go to the Bier Circus in Brussels.  say hi to Dany at Fantome in Soy.

Check out the Metropole hotel - nice old place, very ornate, and only a few blocks from the Grand Place.  I stayed there on my honeymoon about 10 years ago.

My fiance works for the Hilton so that's where we'll be staying.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
