View Brussels PackagesThe Grand Place is the central pedestrianized square of Brussels and is often considered one of the most beautiful squares in the world and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located a short walk from the Central Station (Gare Centrale), it is surrounded by ornate facades of the guild houses and the Town Hall, and looks regal, especially at night when the square is beautifully illuminated. During summer, it becomes home to the famous Flower Carpet and during winter it showcases Christmas markets, concerts, folklore celebrations, and sound-and-light shows.
While the square itself avoids outdoor seating to preserve its charm, the surrounding streets are filled with cafes, restaurants, and shops for a quick bite or souvenir shopping. The square is a dream for photographers, with its stunning architecture and vibrant ambiance, especially during dawn, sunset, or when the lights come on at night. Originally a market square, it later became home to trade guilds and cultural events. Its stunning Gothic Town Hall and the reconstructed guild houses from the late 17th century, after bombardment by French troops, are particularly noteworthy. The square's vibrant history, combined with its striking visual appeal, makes it a favorite for locals and tourists alike.
