"It is important to be aware of cultural differences when visiting Brussels. It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions, and to be mindful of the language spoken in the area. It is considered rude to be loud or disruptive in public places, and it is important to dress modestly when visiting religious sites. It is also important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to avoid any activities that may be considered illegal. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local cuisine and to be respectful of the food served in restaurants," explained one expat living in Brussels, Belgium.
