Hello,
welcome to Brussels! We are in front of the Grand Place, the Brussels
Town Hall Square. The tower, in pure Gothic style, dates from the
15th century. It is topped by a statue of St. Michael, the city's
patron saint, fighting the dragon. If you want to learn more about

tower offers a view of the marketplace. There usually is a flower
market in the morning, a bird market on Sundays, and plenty of
opportunity to sample the famous Belgian beers in the many
cafés. Once a year, the place is covered by a flower carpet.
The Rue des Bouchers (Butchers' Street), renowned for its many
restaurants. Belgium is stereotyped as the home of beer, frites (=
chips / French fries) and mussels, but the Brussels cuisine has a lot
more to offer. It is refined, varied and rich. At the Place du
Musée, The neo-classical palace of Charles of Lorraine hosts
part of the Royal Library as well as the Protestant Royal Chapel of
Brussels. At its foot, a 3-story semi-circular well provides daylight
for the underground Museum of Modern Art.
