Rue Wiertz 60, Bruxelles, Belgio, 1047
Egmont Palace

Egmont Palace was constructed in the 16th-century and completely renovated in the 18th-century by the wealthy Arenberg family. The Belgian government welcomes the international heads of government here and organizes high-level international meetings. For most of us, this building is well-known for its beautiful architecture. The Palace is not accessible to the public, only the gardens and the neighboring Egmont Parc can be visited.

Place du Petit Sablon 8, Bruxelles, Belgio, 1000
Tassel House

The house of Emile Tassel, a physicist and chemist, is a noteworthy landmark and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. This house was built by Victor Horta in 1893 in the Art Nouveau style. Horta's remarkable structure includes iron girders and large windows. The house itself is closed to the public, but even a quick glimpse at its stunning exterior is definitely worth the trip!

rue Paul Emile Janson 6, Bruxelles, Belgio, 1000
Palais de Justice

Built at the behest of Leopold I and designed by the noted architect, Joseph Poelaert, the Palace of Justice is reputed to be one of the largest buildings constructed in the 19th Century. An ambitious project of monumental proportions, the Palace of Justice was completed in 1883, 17 years after construction first began. The architectural style is eclectic, blending neo-baroque elements with classical and ancient styles. Eight courtyards ensure ample supply of fresh air and natural light, while its fluted columns, high ceilings and grand stairways highlight the awe-inspiring proportions of its design. The Palace of Justice continues to serve as the city's main judicial center and is also known as the Law Courts of Brussels.

Bruxelles-Central

Brussels Central Train Station is a popular station located right in the heart of Brussels. It's just a few minutes' walk to sites such as Grand Place, The Beaux Arts Museum, and the Sablon. In it are small snack stores, a few dining facilities, a pharmacy and a news-stand. Outside the station, you'll find bus services, an adjoining metro facility and a queue of taxis just outside the doors. There is a handy luggage storage facility provided and a network of private lockers for smaller bags. Trains operating here connect to Brussels two other major train stations: Brussels North, in the direction of Zaventem Airport, and Brussels South for connections to the Thalys or Eurostar.

Rue Ravenstein 68, Bruxelles, Belgio, 1000
Concattedrale di San Michele e Santa Gudula

La cattedrale di San Michele e Santa Gudula ospita i matrimoni e i funerali dei reali del Belgio. La sua costruzione iniziò nel XIII secolo e fu completata due secoli dopo. Nel corso del XVI e XVII secolo furono aggiunte diverse cappelle. La cattedrale è un notevole esempio dell'architettura gotico-brabante grazie alla precisione e simmetria con le quali è stata progettata. All'esterno si possono ammirare le intricate vetrate e le due imponenti torri. Anche i resti della chiesa romanica del X secolo, su cui è stata costruita la cattedrale, lasciano a bocca aperta. Qui si tengono regolarmente anche concerti di musica religiosa o classica.

Place Sainte-Gudule, Bruxelles, Belgio, 1000
Municipio di Brussels

Il municipio di Bruxelles è un'elaborata meraviglia gotica che costituisce il punto focale dell'iconica Grand Place di Bruxelles ed è senza dubbio uno degli edifici civili più sontuosi della città. Il progetto dell’edificio fu sviluppato a quattro mani. L'ala sinistra dall’architetto Jacques van Thienen nel 1402 e l'ala destra dall’architetto Jean van Ruysbroeck nel 1445-1450. Le due ali retrostanti sono state aggiunte molto più tardi, nel 1712, ma sono state pensate per essere armonia con lo stile architettonico dell'edificio originale a forma di "L". Sulle pareti esterne del Municipio si trovano numerose statue che raffigurano santi, nobili e altri personaggi, ognuno dei quali è una rappresentazione accurata delle persona alla quale è ispirata. La suggestiva e raffinata torre gotica al centro fa da liaison a tutto l’insieme ed è sormontata da una statua di San Michele, il patrono di Bruxelles. All'interno, le eleganti sale sono decorate con arazzi e dipinti del XVI, XVII e XVIII secolo. Il municipio di Bruxelles offre uno spettacolo impressionante, soprattutto quando è illuminato di notte.

Grand-Place 1, Bruxelles, Belgio, 1000
Manneken Pis

This whimsical fountain takes the form of a nonchalant, unclothed boy relieving himself into a basin, a symbol indicative of the city of Brussels' eccentric spirit. A drinking-water fountain that dates back to the 15th Century, the original Manneken Pis was replaced by a bronze cast in 1619 by Jerome Duquesnoy. Although the cheerful little lad survived the bombardment of Brussels in 1695, the statue was repeatedly stolen and retrieved making for a rather colorful history that is heartily embellished with folklore and legends. Following its abduction in 1965, the original was once more rescued, this time from the depths of the Charleroi Canal, restored and placed under the care of the Museum of the City of Brussels, and replaced with a copy. The spirit of this cheeky icon has not diminished, however, but instead has come to be world-renowned. With a wardrobe composed of over 900 outfits, the Manneken Pis is dressed in different garb at varying points throughout the year, an event that attracts visitors from near and far. From the 19th Century onward, the Manneken Pis no longer dispenses drinking water but instead is an ornamental fountain. A rather small and undeniably odd image for a cultural icon, the Manneken Pis, or "peeing boy," nonetheless remains a treasured symbol of Brussels' irreverent wit.

Rue de l'Etuve 22, Bruxelles, Belgio, 1000
Congress Column

The Column of Congress was designed in 1850 by architect Joseph Poelaert, who later also built the Palais de Justice. The column is 47 meters (154 feet) high, and on top there is a 25 meter (82 feet) high statue of Léopold I, the country's first king. This column was erected in commemoration of the National Congress who established the Belgian constitution in 1831. At the foot of the column is the eternal flame, in remembrance of the victims of the two World Wars. In the column itself is the grave of the Unknown Soldier. Every November 11th (Remembrance Day) there is a ceremony here in the presence of the Royal Family.

place du Congrès, Congresplein, Bruxelles, Belgio, 1000
Rue des Bouchers

In the shadow of Grand Place, a small passageway gives access to one of the most pleasant places in the city. Rue des Bouchers is a lovely narrow street that is lined with restaurants. On display lie mussels, lobsters and oysters, all nicely decorated, awaiting hungry tourists. The restaurant doors are always open and, at the first sign of sun, tables and chairs line the alley.

rue des Bouchers, Beenhouwersstraat, Bruxelles, Belgio, 1000
Brussels Stock Exchange (BSE)

Architect Léon Suys designed the stately Brussels Stock Exchange building in 1873. Its classic style is characterized by six Doric columns in front of the building and a myriad of sculptures representing trade at sea and domestic trade. Recently, the Brussels Stock Exchange merged with those of Paris and Amsterdam to become EuroNext. You must make an appointment if you want to visit the building, and groups of 20 or more will be accompanied by a guide. Admission is free.

Royal Greenhouses of Laeken

Built for King Leopold in 1873, these sparkling glass and steel domes border the Royal Palace of Laeken. Greenhouses were an innovative construction of the time and these are particularly extraordinary because of their Art Nouveau style. These greenhouses have an enormous range of rare flowers and plants. While the attraction's exterior can be visited year-round, visitors can only enter the greenhouses' interior and view the plants for a short period in spring.
