In its own right, not that interesting but there are some unique shops in the area with a very interesting emporium to browse around. More

or would, if they spent any time in Brussels. Here you will find the Armani store, lots of art shops, fancy tobacconists, *two* Marcolini outlets, most of the leading chocolatiers, etcetera. Plus a swank Sunday antiques market, plus a few relatively normal and nice enough bars and cafes. And I mustn't forget my current addiction, Sushi Shop. More

Considerably smaller than Grand Place with less architectural beauty, but you'll find more restaurants and other establishments of interest. More

A nice respite from the hussle & bussle. Perfectly manicured flower gardens, complete with impressive statuary , fountains and benchs. It is right across the street from Notre Dame du Sablon. Well worth the stop. It a great Kodak moment. More

A lovely little square with chocolate shops all around and all open on Sundays. On Saturdays and Sunday mornings there is an antique market with an eclectic mix of items to tempt. A few boutique shops nearby too. A fun place to spend a morning or afternoon and eat something very unhealthy but wonderful! More

Although the area has an interesting atmosphere, when the weather is miserable, you cant sit outdoors to enjoy it. Most shops there are over-priced. More
