Does the idea of traveling to Bruxelles with kids seem scary? It isn’t easier to stay at home. I advise to leave your day-to day routine and reconnect as a family. Here is some great advice about how to get started in Brussels travel, Belgium for example

Brussels Museums are closed on Mondays (with a few exceptions). On Wednesday afternoons schools are closed and this can mean that some places are inundated with kids, but then they will be on holiday anyway in July, which is the Belgian holiday month. As far as I know, as long as children are accompanied by adults, they can go into a bar.

Nearby Brussels you'll find Brussels Mini Europe wonderful handmade figures from every city in Europe. (prices € 12,90 for adult; € 9,70 for children). To get there take Metro line 1A direction Roi Baudouin-Koning Boudewijn and get off at Heysel-Heizel. It’s very nice for kids. Mini Europe Belgium has buildings from all over Europe reproduced in 1/25 scale. If you want to see a miniature of the Eiffel Tower or the Vatican, you have to go to Brussels Mini Europe. I think an hour would be a lot of time to spend there. But if it's just you and your partner, or friends, save your time for the real city attractions like Manneken Pis.

We have taken the kids to Mexico for the last 2 years and wanted try something different. So we tried to go to Jamaica with it’s the turquoise waters, flowering trees, delicate white sands, palm-covered hills. Christopher Columbus also had an eye for the extraordinary, calling Montego Bay "the gulf of good weather", so we tried to go to Montego Bay Jamaica.

 

Commonly referred to as Mo Bay, Montego Bay is the largest second city in Jamaica. The first thing we noticed was the air. It was hot and steamy, very thick. Quite a difference from the air conditioning of the aircraft.

We knew that official currency is the Jamaican dollar, the current exchange rate is about US$ 1.00 - JA$ 46.50 but this can fluctuate, change at banks and exchange bureaus only.
