Brussels is MAGICAL… but there were some things I didn’t like. – Alina McLeod x Level8

Alina McLeod heads to Belgium’s capital to see whether Brussels lives up to its fairytale reputation. From iconic waffles and world famous chocolate to festive Christmas markets and a visit to the Atomium, this trip delivers plenty of magic. But it is not all picture perfect. Alongside the highlights, Alina shares her honest impressions of the city’s quieter, less touristy areas and the small frustrations that surprised her along the way. It is a balanced look at Brussels that goes beyond the postcards.
