Brussels Grand Place: A Magnificent Encounter with Medieval European Heritage

The Brussels Grand Place is surrounded by splendid European-style ancient buildings, immediately immersing you in an atmosphere of culture and art. The nearby alleys are filled with Belgian specialty restaurants, famous fries shops, mussel dishes, souvenir stores, chocolate shops, and more. It's recommended to plan a half-day trip to explore the area. There's also a newly built Beer Museum nearby, which you can visit. After 4:30 PM, you can enter for free, take photos at the rooftop restaurant, and enjoy a variety of beers—another excellent option.
