2 weeks in London and Paris, 5 days Berlin, 4 days in Amsterdam, 4 days in Bussels

Talking dullness, I would rather stay around Brussels than go to Northern
France though.

Could be a good point. After seing the other cities my main point was that
perhaps 4 days in Brussels sounds too much.



4 minutes is too much What's there in Brussels? Absolutely nothing except a bunch
of bureaucrats and a silly building.

Yes Prague is essential, and consider Tallinn (capital of Estonia) too.

Sounds like a good time, but many prefer Munich over Berlin. Try to
squeeze in Barcelona and/or Prague.

Beer. Mussels.

A bunch of Art Nouveau places including the Horta museum. The Grand
Place.

What I will grant you is that they let build way too much junk too close
to the historic core, which is a disaster. Also, they demolished too many
places such as Horta's maison du peuple.

We returned to the US from Brussels on the day of your post. I couldn't
disagree more with your sentiments. We loved Brussels and look forward to
returning. We liked the Khnopff exhibit at the Musee des Anciens, the art
nouveau, the Palais du Beaux Arts with its Horta influence, the flea market,
Place du Sablon and the antiques, Grand Place, the abbey beer, the
churches/cathedrals with the beautiful wooden pulpits, and the food was
wonderful. Ghent was a place where we will return as well. Every encounter
we had with any of the Belgian people was absolutely wonderful. And FWIW,
nothing wrong with northern France either.
