3- Bruges - I've seen th Procession of Holy Blood several times in May I believe where th vial with the purported holy blood is paraded thru town - locals dress in medieval garb.
2- Brussels but no clue about the park or other things in it.
No clue well some clue but can't even hazard a guess on the other!

Isn't this a better topic for the forum?????>
Why what is more relevant to the Europe forum than such a quiz that informs many others who can't answer the questions about cool things to see and do in Europe.
And the Lounge - I assume you mean the Lounge and not mistakingly the forum - is closed to all but a few old Fodorgarchs - thus it is extremely relevant to the Europe forum and why you can't see that beats me.

Yes # 3 is Bruges.
Sorry John
Many people could not enter The Lounge now.
It is closed to only those that registered a few years ago ( at Fodors request).
Okay hetismij2 , but you may have to answer if no one gets it.

Okay I will take # 2 as Heysel Park because hetismij2 is close and in the "ballpark" ( pun intended)
The park is Brupark and is part of the largest Complex of Heysel Park.
#1 is called the Atomium
Sorry hetismij2 the #4 answer is not the one I want but I can see why you picked your answer.
We still need to answer # 4, #9 and # 10.
