Grote Markt/Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium

 

This has been called the most splendid market square in Europe. Its esplanade is completely enclosed by tall, gabled, Flemish Renaissance buildings dripping with ornamentation and statues. It is alive with daily commerce and a colorful flower market, and on Sundays it hosts a bird market. Impressive as it is by day, it is even more beautiful at night in the golden glow of floodlights. During spring and summer evenings there is a light show that shouldn't be missed.

  • Loved it so much.
  • Was not there long enough to be disappointed.

“Loved Grand Place for the architecture and the history that it portrays, but also for the social environment. Little specialty shops to purchase famous Belgian Lace, Belgian chocolates and the alleys that run off from the Grand Place full of little restaurants. Stayed there until well into evening and sampled the magic atmosphere and lights that dazzled the buildings. Overall one of my favorite places. Also enjoyed a Belgian beer, Stella, and the markets closely”

  • Very beautiful.
  • It gets boring by the time.

“The place is very beautiful at wintertime. There you can see the famous light show in the evening, all evenings in December ”
