Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Surely one of the most beautiful squares in the city with the Grand'Place. Surrounded by classical-style buildings, this square is well worth a visit. In its center an equestrian statue of Godfrey of Bouillon, to the south the church of Saint Jacques sur Coudenberg. Many museums can also be visited.
Place Royale, a few steps from the Mont des Arts.

Place Royale is where Brussels' stately buildings congregate. It is an elegant city square with a nice statue and some of the Belgian capital's nicest architecture. Do spend some time here to experience the regal vibe.

The Place Royal is a public square at the southern end of the Mont du Arts. The square is surrounded by Neoclassical buildings and dominated by the Saint Jacques-sur-Coudenberg and the Statue of Godefroid de Bouillon at the centre of the square. Not a massive amount to see, but does make for a photogenic backdrop with either the church or statue in the background. Lots of Brussels main tourist attractions are around this area though and the square does also have a magnificent view of Palais de Justice.

I visited Place Royale in the month of May and was not aware that it is closed during that period of time so didnot get chance to enter the Place Royale orelse the palace if open for Public in the month of July-September and can enter the palace free of cost.We just walked around this area and had few pictures.It was not waste of time and was memorable.

Visiting Brussel is not only about see one or two buildings. You can spent the whole day here and still you will not be able to say you have seen everything but this one is for sure worth of few minutes to see!!!

Surrounded by passing cars and very gray in colors, the view at the square with statue of the horse is not the picture that you need to have from Brussels.
