Smještaji za odmor – Brisel

Hola! I’m Alejandra Castro and I studied Fine Arts and Design. Are you looking for a creative experience? Than Brussels is the place to be! As the second most multicultural city in the world, the streets of Brussels are abundant in fascinating people, clothes, textures and colors. This diversity will inspire us to create an original character! Together, we will design and illustrate a figure inspired by the inhabitants of Brussels. In this experience, we will learn the basic steps of character creation and some illustration techniques with different materials. Together, we will develop a unique character with lots of personality, based on a picture you took of someone who caught your attention in the streets of Brussels. We will meet at the wonderful and spacious Café Maison du Peuple (Parvis Saint Gilles) to draw. I will provide all materials, but don’t forget your picture and a notebook to make the first sketches of your character. If you want to know more about me and discover some of my drawings, you can find me on social media: https://www.instagram.com/manabanbana/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7a-ikWKhL5mRno0yUkb41w?view_as=subscriber

Join our award-winning tour and start learning about the golden liquid of Belgium. You’ll be amazed by how much you experience and learn – in only 4 hours! Interesting aspects of Belgian beer and reasons for its top-quality reputation are its ingredients, flavours, alcohol percentages, brewing methods and, of course, the beautiful and unique, brewery-specific glasses. You can waste time and money on tasting beers that don’t meet your standards or please your taste buds. Or you can take the Brussels Beer Tasting Tour! Experience a carefully-curated collection of the 8 best Belgian beers, selected on the basis of more than fifteen years of field research. Not only will you save time finding a good beer, you’ll have more time to taste and enjoy the very best! The tour is specifically organized as a discreet, insider’s ‘pub crawl’, for visitors who want to discover the less-populated Brussels taverns. We’re talking about those with authentic, sometimes even medieval accents. And certainly, those not normally visited by tourists! Among other delights, discover the location of the oldest pub in Brussels – and that the Manneken Pis statue is not alone, but has feminine version The Theatre Royal de Toone is also on the list – to give you an idea of the kind of medieval entertainment once (and still) enjoyed by Belgians.

I will be taking you to my favorite breweries (depending on the actual hours of our tour) and giving you a lot of information about the vast beer culture in Belgium. (Believe me, it is like wine tasting in France or Italy) Are you a person of sweets? Then we will jump into the land of the sugar together and I will be giving information about things like `What is Praline and What is Truffle?' You will be tasting fine chocolates or eating The Belgian Waffle throughout the tour. Everybody who lives in Belgium (including French) knows very well that fries are famous in Belgium and not in France. Somehow the world knows it as French Fries. This particular tour is focused on changing your idea and never calling the name of French Fries again. Please note tastings are limited to 1 portion/1 glass of each. You may choose not to have them all but it does not change the price. Please note it takes around 2-2.5 hours depending on weather conditions. You will be seeing at least 4 famous monuments located within walking distance. I will be giving information about the history of the monuments as well. Other things to note I will try to understand your taste and what you like the most and will adjust all the experience according to your that.
