Undoubtedly one of the most stunning squares in the world, dating all the way back the 12th century, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is the centerpiece of Brussels, and a testament to the city's resilience. Having withstood centuries of wars and bombardment, and subsequently renovated, we are lucky enough to still even to bask in its beauty even today.
This grand and imposing structure dates back to the 15th century, making it one of the oldest buildings in Brussels. It is a shining example of Neo-Gothic architecture. Only parts of it are original however. Some of it was damaged by the French in the 9 Years war in 1651. Lucky for us, it was since been restored its its original splendor, leaving large parts of the original for us to admire.
Who knew there could be so much beauty and charm in trading stocks! This building was founded in 1801, by decree of a certain Napoleon, yes that Napoleon. Its architecture is stunning, its atmosphere enchanting. Perhaps one of the most absolutely draw-dropping financial buildings you will ever lay your eyes on.
If you find yourself thirsty while in central Brussels, you may think twice about drinking from this fountain after seeing that there is a bronze baby urinating into it! Don’t worry, it's all just water. This 16th century statue is so cute and playful, it is no wonder it is a symbol of Brussels, and has been the center for legends and fables throughout the years. Nowadays, it is a replica that you see outside, given the fact that too many ruffians have stolen this statue over time. Luckily it has always found its way back! The original is found in the Brussels City Museum, but we think it's better viewed in its original location.
No trip to Brussels would be complete without indulging in some of the finest chocolate in the world. Trust us, your taste buds will be shocked.
