What to do and see in Brussels, Belgium: The Best Things to do

October 29, 2021 Esmeralda Fenner

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.

Highly recommended, Train World on its own is excellent, the Paul Delvaux paintings and drawings on display are a bonus. The arrangement of the paintings throughout the display hall is very well thought out.

Luxembourg Square

Reviewed By jaywalkingaroundtown - Calgary, Canada

Luxembourg Square is located in front of the UN Parliament building. Lots of expats in that area, due to visiting or working. Also, lot of fancy restaurants. The hop on hop off bus has a stop right in front of the square. FREE to visit!
