Grand Place (Grote Markt)

  • At the core of Brussels is the Grand Place, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its opulent guild houses, the striking Town Hall, and the King's House or Museum of the City of Brussels. No visit to the city is complete without basking in the architectural marvels that surround this historic square. Stroll around the cobbled stones at dusk when the golden illumination of these grand buildings truly makes the Grand Place magical. Location on Google Maps

Atomium

  • The Atomium, an iconic structure built for the 1958 World's Fair, represents an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times. It's an extraordinary feat of engineering and design and provides a panoramic view of the city from its upper spheres. Plus, the nearby Mini-Europe park, which showcases models of famous European landmarks, makes for a delightful extension to your adventure. Learn more about Atomium.

Manneken Pis

  • No trip to Brussels is complete without seeing the Manneken Pis, the cheeky bronze statue of a little boy in mid-pee, which has become an irreverent symbol of the city. He's often dressed in costumes and garners quite the crowd, so prepare for a fun and quirky photo op!

Royal Palace and Brussels Park

  • The Royal Palace is where the Belgian king fulfills his duties, and while the palace is not always open to visitors, one can still admire its neoclassical facade and explore the beautiful gardens. Adjacent to it is the sprawling Brussels Park, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a picnic on a sunny day.

Magritte Museum

  • Art enthusiasts should not miss the Magritte Museum, dedicated to the world-famous surrealist artist Rene Magritte. The museum showcases the largest collection of his works, including paintings, drawings, and sculptures.

Savouring Belgian Cuisine

  • Belgian cuisine is an experience in itself. From delectable chocolates and waffles to savory moules-frites (mussels with French fries) and an endless selection of beer, your taste buds are in for a treat. The charming restaurant-lined streets of the Ilôt Sacré near the Grand Place offer a good starting point for culinary excursions.

Chocolate and Comic Strip Trail

  • Belgium is famous for its chocolate, and Brussels is dotted with artisanal chocolatiers. Indulge in a chocolate-tasting tour or, for a splash of creativity, follow the comic strip trail to glimpse murals featuring beloved characters like Tintin and the Smurfs.
