very good cocktails and incredible furnishing. It is a "must see" whether you like it or not especially if you are already around the Grand Place. It has become a typical place where people want to get in just to see the interieur and the owner does not appreciate this, too many people. If you get there, consider consuming something

33 Pl. Saint-Géryold café in a very connected area full of young people
Great address for beer-based cuisine. The brasserie was named after the bronze statue of a water-carrying girl by local sculptor Julien Dillens that has decorated the brasserie’s adjacent square since 1900. The original may be gone, but a replica and her semblance in the café’s stained-glass windows keep the memory alive. The café’s local touch pairs well with its gorgeous Art Nouveau elements and its extensive Belgian beer selection.

it is an historical and beautiful parc, there are three museums there: car, natural history and military history. I suggest this last one, really huge and full of infos. The park is very used for events especially in summer time

Beautiful! first of all the house in a liberty style with a restaurant on the top from which you can enjoy a beautiful (and expensive) view of the Grand Place. Second it is very fun to walk around each instrument with your headphone playing the music of the instrument

Lady Paname
5 Rue des Grands Carmesincredibly stylish erotic shop, no vulgarity, just charme, a "must see"
Ok it is the main square, nothing speciale, but note that it has been builted by massons and alchemists. It is dedicated to a famous alchemist. All around there are alchemistic symbols. All the square is and alchemistic path for initiation and the menneken pis is the final symbol of this path

Traveler advice
Customs and culture
This is not a city of monuments. It is a city of faces
If you come to Brussels please do not rush around trying to "see" as much as possible like if you are in Rome. Take it easy, relax, walk around and observe especially people. There are many kind of styles, languages and cultures, and faces, yes. Each face and look tells you a story. Spend some time in a café or in one of the many beautiful parks of the city. That's Brussels and you will just love it.
