Things to do in Brussels, Belgium: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
Unassuming Brussels is the capital of Belgium, Flanders and Europe. Medieval Grand-Place, is indeed grand, with many 17th-century buildings and daily flower markets. Reopened in 2006, the Atomium, Brussels' Eiffel Tower, provides great views, inside and out. Architecture fans should visit Musee Horta, home of Belgian master architect Victor Horta. St. Gery's clubs and bars are packed year-round. Seafood eateries abound in Ste. Catherine. Walk, rather than get snarled up in traffic, in the narrow streets.

Take your dog or just yourself, no tech devises whatsoever and walk in the chilly morning by the lake in Bois de la Cambre. If early enough or just a bit late, the chances are you will enjoy a peaceful solitude as well. Sit there in a bench and clean your mind and soul with the beauty of the nature hesitating to break already into an early spring or not.

Wander through the Les Galeries Saint Hubert, a gorgeous glass roofed arcade in the center of Brussels. Lined with cafes, theaters and luxury stores, the Les Galeries Saint Hubert also has the distinction of being the first covered shopping arcade in Europe.

Always a delight to stroll through this arcade and look at the wonderful things on display in the generally high-end shops. One or two closed units though - a sign of the times in retail - but the various cafes are worth a visit for an unhurried spot of people-watching. A visit to the arcade cinema should be on the itinerary at some point.
7. Place St. Gery
8. Mont des Arts
9. Notre Dame du Sablon

Dominating the Sablon Square in the center of Brussels, this church was transformed from a chapel into a major gothic church starting in 1436 through the beginning of the 16th century, and truly exemplifies the Brabantine gothic style of architecture.

This is a magnificent cathedral in a beautiful part of the city centre. The building itself is amazing inside and out, and close by to some attractive public gardens and the palace.
