Details of the Bourse's facade.
-
The Tour de l'Hotel de ville overtaking the skyline.

The Grand Place (or Grote Markt in Dutch) is definitely the highlight of Brussels.

Its charm resides in the fact that all the surrounding buildings are majestic. Here, la Maison du Roi.
-
Including the Maison des Brasseurs.

Detail of the
Everard 't Serclaes statue, who gets damaged by the constant rubbing of its curse to bring good luck to whomever touches it.
-
Nowhere as famous as the
Manneken Pis, its recent female companion, the
Jeanneke Pis, makes a greater impression.

One of Brussels' specialty:
beer. Here a glass of
Delirium Tremens from the
bar of the same name.
