Brussels is usually not the first choice when it comes to family trips, but trust me on this one. Although it is indeed a good base to reach Brugge, Gent or Antwerpen, we sticked to Brussels and spent 4 days there. This gave us enough time to catch a glimpse of both culture, cuisine, and history. You might ask if it is a good choice for family trips with a 4,5-year-old - well, let's just stick to the title and it says it all: Brussels is the home of chocolate, waffle and french fries<\/strong>.
