            What's wrong with Brussels? Also visiting Paris and Amsterdam

            Jump to last reply Flag this topic

            A buddy and I are taking our first trip to Europe Aug. 29 - Sept 6. We are planning on flying into Amsterdam and then leaving from Paris. The plan from there is wide-open. We are both 26, outdoors-y, love to drink, looking to meet girls, hit up bars, bike around the towns. We planned on staying a couple of days in Brussels, but I haven't heard a lot of hype on this forum about Brussels. I've heard a lot more about other Belgium cities. We won't be hitting up museums or shopping. We will be looking for nightlife and biking around a city during the day. We don't mind the big city feel.

            Will Brussels not provide us with what we're looking for? Are we going to get bored and should I plan a day trip to Bruges or Antwerp? What do they have that Brussels doesn't? Do any of the cities let you rent scooters/mopeds?

            I would love any recommendations on things to do during the day, bars, restaurants, etc.
