This is an amazing square with beautiful architecture. I had no idea before walking up to it. I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it before coming here. I would have come to Brussels a lot sooner if I had known. Come before lunch or after dinner to avoid the largest crowds.
These are some good looking buildings let me tell you. The area is a bit crowded but overall it’s a good experience. The plaza looks even more impressive live than on the pictures so if you’re in the area it’s definitely worth a visit. The gold on the buildings is what did it for me something else might do it for you I dunno just go see for yourself :]
The history behind the square is extremely fascinating. The facade of each building has an interesting story to it rooted in the history of the square. The architecture looked lovely in the day time with the gold reflecting the sunlight beautifully!
Stunning sensation when stepping into this beautiful space full of wonderful buildings each decorated with its own special details.
I approached it from every side street, amazing every time. A day visit was as interesting as the night visit, both highly recommended. Soak in the grandeur of the history...

An amazing place steeped in history and character. The hustle and bustle of the area added to the atmosphere. I was pushing my son in a wheelchair and found it a little challenging but it was manageable. I felt safe and didn't need to worry too much about pickpocketing.
A great place in Brussels any time of day and late night. Always bustling qith tourists and locals. A lot of restaurant choices all around the place. I visited this place both during the day and the night and it was equally good. The nighttime view is great die to the wonderful colorful lighting. We had a wonderful time visiting this place.
This seems to be the main place to visit when in Brussels. It was packed with tourists every time we passed through. The building are all excellent to look at, with really interesting external details. You can easily get from here to other attractions by walking (the inner centre isn't huge). Loads of Cafes/waffles/Chocolate and lager/beer in the surroundings.
