Moules, moules. I love moules, or mussels. The first food I thought of tasting in Brussels was definitely mussels. In Belgium, mussels are normally served with french fries, so they call it “moules frites”. The best way of cooking mussels is to boil or steam it with fresh herbs and flavorful vegetables in a stock of butter and white wine.
There are too many restaurants serving mussels in Brussels especially areas around Grand Place. Beenhouwersstraat or Rue des Bouchers is a pedestrian street full of seafood restaurants along both sides, which is only 3 minute walk north of the Grand Place. Mussels are always served in bowl for a price of €12 per bowl in average. They look ugly but taste marvelously yummy! A must try local delight in Brussels!

The Little Mermaid, or Den lille havfrue in Danish (if you are reading the local map or signboard), is a bronze mermaid statue found along the shore of Copenhagen harbour. The statue was commissioned in 1909 by Carl Jacobsen, son of the founder of Carlsberg brewery. It is another touristic popular and cultural iconic bronze sculpture after the Manneken Pis of Brussels.
Both Little Mermaid and Manneken Pis have their similarities. Both are sculpture made of bronze, naked, not as big in size as many may expect, and both are not the original piece on display.
The Little Mermaid is a 4 Feet tall half naked lady half fish statue, posing as a sitting mermaid overlooking the harbour of Copenhagen.
It is also not gated as the Manneken Pis, albeit being better isolated from the rest of other things. She sits on top of stacks of rocks. Some adventurous visitors even climbed up the rock to snap a photo with it.
Eventhough the Little Mermaid is just a bronze statue, huge crowds and visitors are flocking in everyday to view it in person, or snap photos of it. As shown in the above photo, tourist cruises are also dropping by off the shore.
Being one of the top travel destinations in Copenhagen, albeit a bit of a disappointment viewing it in actual, the Little Mermaid is still a significant cultural icon of Copenhagen and Denmark. Where would you think of when you spot the image of this gorgeous naked mermaid? Copenhagen! If you wish to visit them all in person like what I did on my last year’s trip, act fast and plan for your own vacation to Europe this Summer! – Travel Feeder, your ultimate photo and travel guide to Europe

Arguably the most sought after travel attraction in Brussels, Manneken Pis is a little naked boy bronze fountain sculpture created in 1619 by a Belgian sculptor. What made it so popular is his peeing action in front of a fountain’s basin. It is located at the junction of Rue de l’Étuve/Stoofstraat and Rue du Chêne/Eikstraat, [...]
