The heart of the city is the beautiful Grand Place, considered the most beautiful square in Europe, although the Belgians proudly claim that the entire world.

The Manneken Pis Among the buildings that stand out most is the Hôtel de Ville or city council, but the entire package itself is admirable. The plaza was even more beautiful when covered with a folder of flowers representing different reasons every two years. Around the square there are bars and restaurants where you can taste local foods, a good Belgian beer or just a coffee.

A few meters from the Grand Plaza, along a busy street of shops that offer the rich Belgian chocolates and lace garments (the Belgian lace is one of the most appreciated of the world), lies on a pedestal in a corner, the graceful statue of a little boy urinating is the famous Manneken Pis.
