Looking for a cheap getaway? Hop across the channel and book a cheap flight to Brussels. There is an abundance of activities in the European capital. If you are into antiques then check out the Sablon square. There are many quaint little shops and cute restaurants and cafes. If you want to buy something that is a bit more now, then head over to the Avenue Louise. This is the poshest shopping street in town and you will find all your favorite designer labels are represented in this street. Don't worry if you don't have that kind of cash, there is always the Nieuwstraat for high street brands. You can't visit Brussels without having mussels. Try out the Kelderke restaurant on the Grand Place for some authentic Belgian dishes and Burgundian atmosphere. If you are in a morbid mood after dinner, have a drink at Le Cercueil which means the coffin. They serve drinks in skulls and the tables are genuine coffins. Or for a more cheerful evening, check out theatre/cafe Toone. It is a really puppet theatre, but if there is no show then the cafe still is a nice place to have a beer among the many string puppets hanging from the ceiling.
