The Majestic Gran Place in Brussels

Brussels is such a wonderful city. The Belgian capital is an important centre for international politics and hosts a great number of European organizations. The city is one of the most important tourist destinations in Europe and can be easily explored by foot.

Our first stop in Brussels is the Gran Place, we walk around this magnificent square and admired each one of the majestic buildings. The square is UNESCO Herritage site and the colourful buildings with rich architecture are so impressive. 




The square is dominated by the elegant Gothic building of the Town Hall representing the power of the Duke of Brabant and its glory is demonstrated by the Saint Michael statue. 





The Guildhouses around are so beautiful every time we pass here we realize a detail we previously missed.

They represent the different art and craft guilds.To fully appreciate, you should see them from different corners. It is very difficult to find other buildings which are as amazing as these, especially when the main decorations are covered with gold. The effect is fantastic!








There are several superb restaurants around and some chocolate shops.

The atmosphere here is phantastic, this is the heart of Brussels and we come here again and again.






This is definitely the most beautiful central square in Europe. Here we find ourselves in the middle of magic.

There is always something to see and the gorgeous architecture of the buildings is just breathtaking.




Maison du Roi built from 1504 up to 1536 by the Duke of Brabant.

This square is one of the most beautiful in Europe. It is simply stunning.
