The Grand Place (Grote Markt)

Brussels is well known for being a large city of many neighborhoods. There are many individual places that are unique but it's hard to single out a specific one because there are so many.  

Grand Place is one of them. It's a small but impressive place. The Grand Place in Brussels is one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in the city. Located in the old city center, it's a large market that dates back to the 13th century. It's the main square of the old town and is accessible from all directions.

Grand Place is the famous square in the center of Brussels, where the Royal Palace is. It is connected to the Grand Place market, an indoor market, where you can buy anything from souvenirs to food and flowers.

Saint-Michel Cathedral 

The Saint-Michel Cathedral is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world. Located in Brussels, Belgium, it was built in the early 13th century in honor of a patron saint, Michael, martyred by the Romans in AD 100. The complex is composed of a church and a museum. The church, the main building of the complex, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in the Gothic style with a Romanesque vault. The museum, which shares the site of the church, houses the relics of Saint Michael.

Mannekin Pis

“Tentenzen Mayrie, a royal from the 17th century, was one of the most famous inhabitants of Brussels. A courtesan, she was the inspiration for the character of the cheeky historical Mannekin pis sculpture at the Brussels Central Station.

Mannekin Pis is a small bronze statue of a little boy urinating into a fountain. The statue, created in 1668, was placed in front of the Brussels City Hall to amuse the public and make the city of Brussels famous. In 1850, it was moved to a place called Mannekin the Pisser, or ‘Pissing Boy,’ on the Rue de l’Eau, but a few years later, it was taken down for restoration. It was then placed on a pedestal at the Grand Place, but in 1937, it was again taken down and hidden. In 2010, it was recovered and restored, but it is not on view in its original location.

The Place Royale (Koningsplein)

The Place Royale (Koningsplein) is the central square of King's Square. It is known for its beautiful flowers, its statue of King Leopold, and the famous little girl who, in 1832, painted her nails in tribute to the man who was the 12th King of the Belgians. It is also known as the most beautiful square in the city because of its flowers.
