Im only visiting Brussels as part of a business trip so only have the evenings. Easy walk from the metro, which is also easy to use once you take a look at a map and know where you need to be and what direction. Nice place, loads of bars and restaurants, it's much more than a "square" with streets upon... More

Nice place to enjoy a cup of coffee on a sunny day, but as those are not very often, it is not a very pleasant place to be. I very much like it just wished sun was on our side more often :) More

The Grand Place is busy all year around. Great place for people watching ESP sitting outside a resturant. Visitors to Mons are expected to rub the head of the monkey for luck. Good resturants, great history and ambience More

Lovely cobbled square, beautiful by night. There are bars and restaurants around, but perhaps catering for the tourist trade. More

Throughout Spring, Summer and Fall this is the place to be on the weekends. Pull up a chair outside a bar and people watch or stay late and be surprised unexpectedly with an impromptu show. It's never boring on the Plaza. More
