Atomium

Ixelles
Ixelles is the municipality of Brussels where I made my new home when I landed in Brussels. The main reason was its proximity to my university, just like its vibe, youth and the university itself that I thought would make it easier for me to meet new people of my age,...

Manneken Pis
The Manneken Pis is known worldwide as one of the symbols of the city of Brussels in addition to the Atomium, a fact that I personally find insulting with such a work of art that is the Atomium compared to such a disappointing statuette, but hey, as the saying goes,...

Murales
In Brussels you can find a lot of wonderful murales. They are not in the same place, but all over the city. Here I upload some of them. I really liked them. It's fantastic to walk around the city just to discover them. Each one is different from the rest. A lot of them...
