The Grand-Place neighbourhood
Internationally-renowned for its history, architectural quality and ornamental opulence, the ‘Grand-Place’ with its City Hall is considered one of the most beautiful squares in the world, and was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1998.
Discover a place of great beauty that is steeped in history, with its stunning architecture, opulent features, ‘Maison du Roi’ and City Hall that attract thousands of fascinated visitors every day. Explore the maze of charming little streets off the square where you’ll find lots of shops and restaurants in the centre of Brussels, offering a multitude of Belgian specialities such as lace and chocolate.
As well as being a lively neighbourhood with numerous hotels, restaurants, cafés, shops selling Belgian specialities, and souvenir shops, it’s also a prized venue for festive and cultural events. The ‘Grand-Place’, with its soul deeply ingrained in Brussels and its cosmopolitan character, has all the makings of a great visit and is an experience in itself.
