Grand Place, Brussels – Budget Trip:A Must-See Historical Square

#europeonbudget
The Grand Place in Brussels is one of the most famous landmarks in Belgium and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a large, open square surrounded by beautifully decorated guildhalls, the Brussels Town Hall, and the King’s House (Maison du Roi).

This historic plaza is known for its impressive architecture, gold detailing, and Gothic-style buildings. It is especially popular with tourists who come to admire the buildings, take photos, and enjoy the atmosphere.

The square is lively during the day and becomes even more charming at night when the buildings are illuminated. Throughout the year, the Grand Place hosts events such as the Flower Carpet Festival (every 2 years), Christmas markets, and concerts.

There are many cafes, chocolate shops, and restaurants around the square, making it a good place to relax and soak in the view.
