Belgium & Luxemburg - 2 countries in 2 days!!!

As soon as we reached Brussels by train, we just dumped our luggage in the hotel and headed straight to Atomium. The building is shaped like an atom and indeed has an amazing structure. From the top sphere you can see the panoramic view of Brussels.  

Later we headed towards the famous landmark of Brussels - The Manneken Pis. After stuffing ourselves with waffles buried in cream and strawberries we walked towards the Grand Place. It has been voted as the most beautiful central square of Brussels and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After taking our perfect shots we headed back to our hotel.


The next day we travelled to Luxemburg by train and in so many days for the first time we had a sunny day. The most unique thing about Luxemburg was the dramatic landscape wherein a valley runs through the center of the city. We saw the Pont Adolphe Bridge which was built in 1900 and is the largest stone arch in the world. Luxemburg is a very small country and there is not a lot to see, so we took a toy train which gave us a tour of the place. We made the most of the little time we were there and later that evening we went back to Belgium and were ready to take our train back to Amsterdam the next day.
