Belgium Le Grand-Place in Brussels

“The size and volume of structure in the Grand-Place can be overwhelming. I advise that you come back to it a few times during your stay, certainly once each during daytime and night time, to get the full experience. [...] Even if you miss the flower carpet, being at the Grand Place feels like being at the center of everything. Grab a Belgian beer from one of the side alley stores, find a spot at the edge of the square, and just take it all in.”

“Same, last summer I visited Europe for the first time and the first city on my 2 week vacation was Brussels, the Grand Place was the first thing in the morning I visited after I arrived. As I turned the corner into the Grand Place I just went "Wow”

“First place I ever visited abroad, on my first day in Brussels. Also the first place I ever tried Kriek, which has become a love of mine. [...] My hotel was in the old city, just a few blocks away. We had to walk through the Grand Place from the train station to get there. It was glorious.”
