Gilded Showstoppers: A Whirl Around Brussels’ Grand Place!

#summervacay Taking a stroll around Brussels’ Grand Place is like walking straight into a fairy tale that hired an excellent architect. Towering above it all is the grand Town Hall, with its sky-high spire and an army of stone statues peering down like they’re judging your selfie skills. Right across stands the Maison du Roi (King’s House), looking regal even though no king ever actually lived there—talk about false advertising! All around the square, the lavish guildhalls flaunt their golden facades and sculpted gables, each one trying to win the title of “Most Dramatic Building.” From the proud Brewers’ House celebrating Brussels’ beer heritage to the House of the Dukes of Brabant stretching across six elaborate facades, every corner is an explosion of history, grandeur, and over-the-top charm that will make you feel like you’ve wandered into a living museum.
