Today I show you the port of Brussels. It is located at the Canal Albert which leads Brussels to the port of Antwerp. The canal starts in Liège, crosses the whole country and is 130 km (81 miles) long.
It doesn't really look like a port when I arrived. To the right the red building is the custom's house
Unfortunately it was a very grey day.
What a great series!! Another part of Brussels I've never seen before!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting post! We have been to Brussels a number of times and never knew it had a shipping possibility. Nice to learn something new everu day.
ReplyDeleteAnd I bet it's a very busy port, too. I didn't know Brussels had a port...now I do.

ReplyDeleteNever seen this part of the world, thanks for sharing!
Looks like an interesting place to wander about!
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see so mcuh of Belgium on your blog. A place we see so little of considring how much history is there. I see the weather is very much like the UK this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating collection of photos! And love the extra atmosphere of the grey day.
ReplyDeleteA grey day (as usual) but nice pictures. This is for me a unkwown part of Brussels.

ReplyDeleteYou're world is beautiful even though the weather didn't cooperate, Gattina! Happy My World Tuesday! :)
ReplyDeleteI just love your tours. So that is an active canal. We gave up our canal systen when the railroads came in 100 years ago. That might have been a mistake.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a cold place to be on a gloomy Brussels day! It's very interesting though - I'm so grateful to you for sharing sO much of your country with me!
ReplyDeleteOh! And the rose on my blog? NOT my thumbs! It is courtesy of my husband's generosity! (my valentine flowers!)
I really enjoyed all the information on the Port of Brussels. I definitely want to visit Bussels one day.
ReplyDeleteAs a big port , Brussels knows many activities! thanks for sharing all those different point of view. A place to discover!Les p'tits sont là! Kalle est un garçon très sympathique! Nous avons bien discuté et il s'entend très bien avec Pierre!
ReplyDeleteExcellent post and photos. To some of your photos this place looks like Halkida, Evia, Greece.
ReplyDeleteThe last picture's great as the boat gives a sense of perspective. I hadn't really clocked how big the waterway was from the previous shot.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it would be a lovely stroll at a sunny day! I love the port. Always love the water.
ReplyDeleteBelieve me or not,
ReplyDeleteI entered le Port de Bruxelles Anno 1965.First time. By a 20 feet boat.
From Norway.
Well, we went on the sandbanks out from Anvérs and need help to be freed, but we ended in Bruxelles and had a great time.
Btw. Sorry for not visiting and commenting your excellent blog for a while. I can explain.
