About La Grand-Place

The Grand-Place is the magnificent heart of Brussels, an enclosed square framed by opulent baroque guildhalls, a Gothic town hall and a grand royal house, their facades encrusted with gilt statuary that gleams in the evening light. Flower markets, a biennial carpet of begonias and surrounding chocolatiers and beer halls make it a feast for every sense.
