Snapshots from Brussels,Belgium

Grand Place
A magnificent place to visit in Brussels! It is surrounded by awesome buildings such as the city's Town Hall.The architecture in combination with the picturesque stone-paved streets and lights add to the magic of this tourist destination. For more information, visit the following site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Place

Shops around the city sell all sorts of chocolate, in every shape,size and for every taste. A well- known chain of chocolate shops are the so called ''LEONIDAS'' selling strawberry skewers dipped in chocolate.

The fine building known as the Palace of the Nation (French: Palais de la Nation ; Dutch: Paleis der Natie ) is the seat of Belgium's Federal Parliament.

Tullips are in blossom in this time of year and they happen to turn a boring huge construction of cement into an amazingly beautiful area like this. I just couldn't grasp the beauty of all these flowers in absolute harmony with the grass and the fountain in the middle. It felt like holding a postcard in my hands!

The atomium!
What a landmark!
More impressive than it looks in the photo!
Would you believe that there's a restaurant up there in one of the cubicles? Oh well..there is!

And the size of it is revealed by comparing Mrs Efi and the landmark itself in the background. Bear the mind that the photo was taken a few meters away...

For Greek food lovers, the Greek tavernas like ''Le Zorba'' here offer a wide range of dishes from souvlaki to mouzaka.
