The Majestic Grand Place
One cannot step into Brussels without being captivated by the
Grand Place, a UNESCO World Heritage site that serves as the city's beating heart.

It is here, amid the cobblestone and grandeur, that you will sense the rich history that fills the air.
Manneken Pis: A Quirky Icon
A stone's throw away from the Grand Place is one of Brussels' most peculiar landmarks - the
Manneken Pis. This small bronze sculpture has won the hearts of millions with its cheeky portrayal of a little boy in mid-merriment. Though diminutive in size, the lore surrounding him is as vast as the wardrobe of costumes he dons on special occasions.
Art Nouveau and Victor Horta
Art lovers and architecture enthusiasts will revel in the works of Victor Horta, whose timeless buildings dot the city scape. Brussels is a canvas for some of the most significant works of Art Nouveau, and Horta's influence shines through.
