This square is interesting not in itself but because of the buildings surrounding it, such as Town Hall and Church of the Holy Blood. More

“Easy walk from the Markt”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2012

This is an easy stroll from the Markt area. Definitely worth the walk, given some of the attractions. Beautiful architecture and visit the Basilica of the Holy Blood for the beauty inside. The square itself is huge and lots of photo ops. More

“Historic buildings”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2012

Stunning buildings, except for a modern pavilion off to one side. This could detract from the beauty of the site, but it is easily ignored. More
