2-day Brussels Itinerary | Perfect for First Time Visitors

Belgium in Europe is a lovely country that is missed by many international tourists. My sister lives reasonably close by and often spends a weekend in Brussels, the main capital of the country. With stunning historic buildings, delicious food and interesting artwork, there are lots of things to see and do in this amazing city. I have therefore created this handy 2-day Brussels itinerary for you if you are planning to check out this city. This vibrant city is known for being many things at once, and that versatility extends to its attractions. A statue of a boy peeing, the Atomium and the Grand Palace are just a couple of those attractions that you can check out when in Brussels. So, in this post, I will show you some of the best things to do in Brussels, but also what food to get, where to stay, how to get around and much more all compacted into a 2-day Brussels itinerary.

The best day trips outside Amsterdam

The best day trips outside Amsterdam

The Netherlands is a very compact country, especially when comparing to Australia. With a fast public transport network, as well as an extensive road network, a lot of the country can be seen even when you don’t have a lot of time! So, when you are flying into Amsterdam, there are many amazing cities, UNESCO heritage sites, as well as historical towns and flower fields that you could check out! Therefore, taking day trips from Amsterdam is a must. After exploring Amsterdam for 2 days, I suggest you either hire a car or getting on the train and explore some more of this beautiful country. Though you can’t see everything in the timespan of your holiday, there are still many amazing places that you can see during a couple of day trips from Amsterdam.
