We enjoyed our visit to the town hall of Brussels. If you love design and interior from a different time, this will bring you to decades ago. Audio guides are available and it tells you some snippets of information about the different chambers. Each room has its own theme and different design on the ceilings, walls, & furniture. Pros: • Lockers • Fair price of ticket Cons: • It didn’t look like ...

The flower show in the rooms of the city hall is a must see, on the alternate years of the flower carpet in the square. Not as big but equally as spectacular. An immense amount of work has gone into the displays with a different theme in each room, doesn’t take long to walk through but well worth it.

The architecture is stunning. We couldn't stop taking pictures of the building because of how stunning it looks. You can even see it from afar. Unfortunately we couldn't enter because it was past working hours.

This big building in Grand Place is very old and beautiful. It was built in the 1400s and has a tall tower with a statue on top. The outside has lots of small statues and decorations. At night, lights make it look magical. You can go inside on a tour and see fancy rooms and learn about Brussels’ history. It’s a great place to take photos and feel the city’s past.

A fabulous hidden gem right on the Grand Place! The 20+ rooms that the museum carefully explains to you are nothing short of jaw dropping. Centuries of history, beautiful interiors and an amazing digital guide to accompany you.
From late November to early January, catch the free Winter Wonders sound-and-light show projected on the Town Hall every 30 minutes after dusk.
