Shopping in Brussels

Have you decided to organize a shopping in Belgium? Then you need to start from her capital of Brussels. Like all Western European capitals, Brussels can not boast of low prices, but compared to, say, London or Paris, the prices here are not so high. In addition, in the capital, there are regular sales, as evidenced by the tablets "Solden" or "Soldes". According to European traditions, shops in Belgium work from 9 to 6, and on Friday closing occurs late in the evening.

Where to buy?

In Brussels, there are two regions, each performing in different categories. This is the Waterloo boulevard and Louise Street (boutiques and brand names), as well as Neuve Street (medium-price shops). For example, if there are high-end stores on the Boulevard Waterloo and avenue Louise (Cartier, Barberi, LV, Dior), on the street Neuve there are shops of brands of mass-markets ( Esprit , Benetton, H & M, Zara). On Neuve Street, go to the oldest department store "Inno" and the big shopping center City2. Antoine-Dansaert street will be of great interest for women of fashion. Here you will find boutiques of famous Belgian designers.
