As many of you know, studying abroad allows you to travel to so many different places in Europe! My roommate from Holy Cross and I decided to meet up and do a duo trip in Brussels, Belgium! I am currently studying in the UK, while my friend is studying in Ireland.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brussels is not as common of a study abroad destination, but we heard about people going and wanted to see how it was. Brussels is such a quirky place. They had so many differently decorated things around the city. It is small but very cute and tourist-friendly. There were also Smurfs everywhere. We had no idea Smurfs originated in Belgium!<\/p>\n
Belgium is known for its chocolate, beer, waffles, and fries. Naturally, we tasted all of those things. I will say the fries, or frites, were delicious, and definitely something I would have never been able to try otherwise. They came with Belgian mayonnaise, too, which was also delicious. We toured a chocolate museum and went into probably twenty different chocolate shops. If you are a chocolate lover, Belgium is the place for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the days, we took a day trip to Brugge, another quaint city only an hour away from Brussels. They had beautiful buildings and canals. We also went to a spa in Brugge, which was amazing. For us two, it only cost 240 euros for a private room with a sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, infrared therapy, ice bath, and showers. The experience was amazing, and we felt so relaxed afterwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Holy Cross chapter and does…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11369,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[7777,7778,18,7779,7780,69,7781,54],"class_list":{"0":"post-11368","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brussels","8":"tag-college","9":"tag-studyabroad","10":"tag-brussels","11":"tag-chapterchapter","12":"tag-chapterholy-cross","13":"tag-europe","14":"tag-sponsoredno","15":"tag-travel"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@be\/116400575226312841","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
