An absolute must on any visit to Brussels. My son recently teased me about an Easter basket and I…read moreneeded to remind him, I literally flew to Belgium to secure Easter chocolates from at least 7 different Belgium chocolatiers to prep his Easter gifts this year. If that doesn't keep me out of a nursing home, I don't know what will! Bestie and I finished our morning waffles and the chocolate shopping began. We went in every single shop and others around town. Thank goodness for cool temps because we had so many treats! This is a beautiful area to spend some time. We left with an extremely robust selection. A couple of my Easter bunny's from Mary's broke in transit back to the states but most everything else remained in tack. I loved admiring all of the store fronts decorated for Easter.

The stores are definitely more high end, but this is a place to definitely seen and be seen. The holiday decor also elevated the experience and truly made the interior and atmosphere pop.

There are some excellent finds here but goodness gracious does it get crowded! Worth the visit…read morethough.

My goodness. This…read moreshop is located on a major street that stretches forever and is lined with numerous shops and small eateries. I was looking for a big sweater since I did not come adequately prepared for the sudden cold (low 30's in the evenings). Primark is like your local Ross store but a step lower since about 80% of the clothing/accessories/shoes are not brand names, but I was surprised at how inexpensive yet trendy some of the items were. For example, they had a sale on men's jeans for 7 Euro. I purchased a scarf that was inexpensive but good luck if you need to try on anything. This store was packed to the brim. Inexpensive, good variety of items, and filled with a majority of locals from the other side of Brussels, if you understand the meaning.

I love convenient stores when I visit other countries and Carrefour is one of my favorites!!

If you are grabbing quick bites, I recommend non-Carrefour brand prepped cold sandwiches if are not looking for just the cheapest thing there. Their hot food, I would pass.

Brussels is an expensive city for the budget traveler. Besides getting fries and waffle,…read moreeverything else would cost a pretty penny. Don't despair, Carrefour is in town. This is a great market to pick up your water, beer, sauces, chocolate. I was staying nearby at the Dominican and picked up water, chips and several different of Belgian beer for my room. Chimay.

Love the variety of shops but the American in me really really really despises the fact that I have…read moreto pay for parking to shop!! And it's not like the parking is cheap either!!! I am super grateful there is a Pierre Marcolini shop located here because I adore his chocolates but it does slightly hit the wallet. There's also a good cheese shop and I hit up Di for girly stuff at the same time. I haven't had much luck with the bread shop so tend to avoid it. There's also a C&A (similar to Macy's or JC Penney) which has great bargains from time to time. The one store I hate to shop at here is Proximus - don't get me wrong, am very glad it's here but the lines are so long, they either need to staff up, or expand store footage or have more seating. The people at the help desk (located in the middle of the mall) are always very friendly and there's always some sort of goodies available. Also suggest that you go thru mall magazine (also found at the help desk) because sometimes there are great coupons and deals to be found!

You can find brands like OMSK, Tigersushi Furs, Henrik Vibskov and Commune de Paris. For the rest: great accessories, magazines and other stuff too.
