Reason two
There are lots of children specific activities in Brussels, especially designed to capture their imagination. We only encountered a few but as it is not as big or bustling as London or Madrid, you can pretty much get around the city in 2 days.

Reason three
It’s a fantastic city to explore… but if you have kids, don’t miss taking them to the Central Square, but just be warned, you’ll have to prise them away. Brussels itself, just seems to works just that little bit harder to enchant you. But time it right, and you can also get some fantastic seasonal events like the biennial ‘Carpet of Flowers‘
