A day in Brussels, you can enjoy some of the city's main tourist attractions and immerse yourself in Belgian culture. Here is our itinerary:
1 - It is referring to the "Grand Place" (also known as Grote Markt in flamenco) in Belgium. The Grand Place is a famous square located in the center of Brussels, the capital of Belgium. It is one of the most emblematic places in the city and one of the main tourist destinations in the country.
1 - The Grand Place is surrounded by impressive buildings of Gothic, Baroque and Neo-Gothic architecture, dating mainly from the 17th century. The most prominent buildings are the Brussels Town Hall (Hôtel de Ville) and the King's House (Maison du Roi or Broodhuis), which houses the Brussels City Museum.
2 - Next to the square, we find the statue in honor of Éverard t'Serclaes, he was a member of the Lignages of Bruxelles, these great families that ruled Brussels in the Middle Ages. He was a city councilor five times. His duties led him to defend the rights of his city at the risk of making enemies. Thus, in March 1388, Sweder d'Adcoude, lord of Gaesbeek, sent his men to attack him. An attack that cost him his tongue cut out and his life a few days later. Everard breathed his last on the Grand Place, at the Maison de l'Etoile.
3 - Manneken Pis: maximum symbol of the city, and there are several legends about why this is so! But he has always been, and continues to be, a source! Owner of a huge wardrobe, you can find him naked or in his cute outfits!
In addition to the boy, there is also a girl in the city who pees - Jeanneke Pis - and a dog who pees - Zinneke Pis.
4 - Delirium Village / Delirium Café: little dead-end street dedicated to the famous Belgian beer, and where the also famous bar is located, with more than 2,000 Belgian beers and beers from around the world, and which has the Guinness record for it!
5 - Place Royale/ Royal Square: this is where the city's Royal Museums meet. For seven centuries, it was the seat of a castle, after the old palace of Coudenberg, seat of power of the Dukes of Brabant. The place subsequently underwent numerous transformations. Today, in the center there is a statue of Geoffrey de Bouillon, made in 1848 by Eugène Simonis, and the church of Saint-Jacques-sur-Coudenberg.
6 - Carillon du Mont des Arts / Jacquemart Bell: On the star-shaped clock, each hour is represented by a painted figure and each figure corresponds to a character from the history of Brussels. Clockwise and in chronological order you can observe: a Gaul, Godefroid de Bouillon, Jan Van Artvevelde, Philippe Le Bon, Charles V, Pierre Paul Rubens, the Count of Egmont, the fighter of 1790, Charlier in Le Jambe de Bois , the drummer, the soldier 14-18 and the worker.
7 - Cathédrale des Saints Michel et Gudule: called Notre-Dame de Brussels, due to its similarity to Notre-Dame de Paris, it is a beautiful church that can be visited for free! And it's worth the visit!
