City of Chocolate

So I was lucky enough to visit the city known for few things we cant imagine our life without. Fries, beer, waffles and one of the world best chocolate . Yes I'm talking about Brussels, capital city of Belgium, also called a fairy tale city


Founded in year of 979, and since then shining like a star. As not so many people know French Fries wasn't found in France, actually the real existence of Fries comes from Belgium since 1680. Lots of people have been using ketchup and mayo but the real star of the Fries is a curry mayonnaise. Greenish color and real kick of a curry makes fries from snack to real deal, so if you happen to go around the Brussels grab a shack and tour the city like a locals.



And now the thing you've been waiting for, chocolate, possible the one of the best chocolates in the world are coming from Belgium, as you can see from the pictures I enjoyed every second of it, eating and drinking the best hot chocolate in the world. Particular this chocolate I've been drinking was crafted, exactly crafted in Neuhaus, one of the best chocolates in the world. Beside having a great hot chocolate they are also making the best chocolate in the world, and there is plenty of kinds to choose from, the oneIm sugessting for id dark chocolate, 75% coco and trust me your are going to enjoy it every bite of it. Take your time while choosing the chocolate since there are so many kinds of  them, if you cant choose you can even make a selection and take it on the way, one of the best ways to enjoy the already beautiful city.

While you'r walking around with your hand picked chocolate box in your hand you might find yourself in the small side street called Rue des Bouchers with all the local restaurants offering the amazing food form the traditional Belgian menu. You can find everything from mussels which are most popular dish and always fresh up to m y choice, Belgian sausage with apple compote and rocket salad. Trust me, this is the street which make you crazy with all the choices they have, and the best thing is that this is the street which takes you to the heart of the Brussels, to Grand Place, the place you shouldn't miss.

Grand Place is the most important destination in Brussels, if you don't come here its like you never been to Brussels. Beside being beautiful for eye and life memory catching the thing you need to know about this marble is that, this is build in 13th century and still looking good, actually looking beautiful. Place is surrounded by a Town Hall, Kings House and Guildhalls. Very interesting story is behind the beautiful square. Once a upon a time there were three markets, meat, bread and a cloth market which will later lead to the today's state of Grand Place.

 After walking down the path where the millions were walking I'm going towards one more atraction in Brussels, Manneken Pis, small bronze statue which means much more then the size shows. Tall only 61 cm and 395 years old, Manneken Pis is a very touristic place actually its a must see after the Grand Place. Lots of history and stories are attached for this small boy, the idea, believes and many more. Unfortunalty the original was stolen and the replica is placed in 1965 but that doesn't a small boy to pis in the fountain as the people of Brussels would say. Very interesting thing is that little boy is derresed up several times per week, and that's managed by non-profit organization  The Friends of Manneken Pis. And that would be all for this post, im finishing my travel leaving you with a picture of a small boy.
