I am pretty sure Grand Place in Brussels is one of the most beautiful squares I have ever been to, if not the most beautiful. This is the second time I have visited, and since Christmas is soon coming up the square had a big Christmas tree in place, like any other square with respect for itself ๐ I have never visited those few days in Augustย every other year when there is a carpet of flowers covering a large part. Looks stunning in photos! What is constant are the incredible buildings on the four sides. It’s just elegance everywhere you turn. There is Brussels Town Hall with the huge tower, that proves very difficult to fit in photos ๐ Broodhuis, which kind of has a ghost like appearance andย houses the Museum of the City of Brussels. And the guildhalls – golden, detailed, ravishing.

I’ve never been, but can imagine how gorgeous it would be – especially around Christmas time!
Probably even nicer in the summer with the flower carpet.
I was also there after Christmas time, it was too pretty!
Been there twice. Both in winter. Would like to see the flower carpet.
I absolutely adore Brussels!! I think it has an absolutely beautiful square, too. The waffles are tasty as well. ๐
I am neither a huge Brussels fan nor pro Belgian waffles. Like Antwerp and moules frites better ๐ But the square is beautiful ๐
I knew you meant here, even before you said it. It’s so lovely. There’s nothing quite like it. We only had one night in Brussels, spending most of the time based in Bruges but it’s a lovely city.
๐ I prefer Bruges to Brussels, even though I wasn’t impressed with that town either…
I LOOOOVE BELGIUM and Brussels was amazing! I feel like my post doesnt do it justice and I definitely want to go back! #WanderfulWednesday
Belgium, yes! Brussels, no… I like Antwerp a lot better!
WOW! Yup, that’s quite a square! We certainly don’t have anything even remotely like that in my little city! ๐
We don’t have anything like that in Oslo either ๐
yes, it’s stunning! especially at night when all the buildings are lit up #wanderfulwednesday
I haven’t seen it at night ๐
I’ve never been to Brussels, but this square indeed looks gorgeous from your photos. ๐ #WanderfulWednesday
IMO, the best thing about Brussels ๐
