Aside from being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this central square is best seen at night, when it’s illuminated. Aside from the Town Hall, this place also has buildings that are over 300 years old!
The entire Grand Place, excent gohic town hall, had to be rebuilt after Louis XIV decided to bomb the city centre with his canons. All building date from after the bombardment in late baroque style.
For the best chocolate around the Grand Place go to Galler,in the little pedestrian street going down towards Bourse. My favorite is the Noir 85
3 things you must do here: eat in the Botacafé in the back, attend a gig and get your picture taken in the Photomaton!
A beautiful park with different kinds of museums, a sports ground and summer-only drive-in screenings (all films in original version with English subtitles).
Buy a waffel from the van. It is delicious. And guy is really friendly.
Take a nice walk around the lake. You'll meet lots of Swan's, Gooses and Ducks ;0) the scenery is very quit & beautifull
Look down to see the ruins but watch your step it's all up and down
Perfect no Thursdays!!! Full of people and djs in the bars!!! Perfeita as quintas-feiras! As pessoas ficam pro happy Hour e vão noite a dentro! Praça lotada com DJs em vários bares!!!
Literally in the shadow of Parliament, this is the Thursday night after-hours haunt of the younger generation of eurocrats. No visit to Brussels and the Parliament is complete without a check-in here.
Check out the lions at the stairs; the one looks up and the other down, warning people that there will be good and bad days at the stock market (Beurs)!
Strike a statueing pose! The static staircases and columns of the 'Beurs' bring you into the right mood. Tweet it with #statueing and #olympusZOB (Zoom on Brussels by @olympus_be)

This is a monument that you must not miss—9 spheres made of steel that that has different halls for exhibits and other events as well as a great view of Brussels from the top. Open daily, 10am to 6pm.
Unique ! What can I say ? Explore and admire this monumental representation of an iron atom. The biggest symbol of the surrealistic Belgian spirit.
"Oh my god, he's so small !" Everyone says that. But do you know that little boy is so symbolic of the free-minded spirit of the "Brusseleirs" ? But don't take a pee in the middle of Grand Place ^^
Great museum. Tip: Exhibition is chronological so make sure to start at the third floor.
The most amazing church I ever been! Entrance is free but if you pay (automat) 5€, you can visit balconies, museums (some hours and days) and the best panorama view on Brussels!
