What travelers are saying
- SMLikestoTravelBengaluru, India262 contributionsA must visit when in Brussels. No matter how hard we tried, our clicks just couldn’t capture the beauty and vibe. Nice to see the buildings of the different guilds. All the famous chocolatiers outlets are present here. We tried selections from Mary, Neuhaus, Leonidas and GodivaWritten December 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA16,380 contributionsIn my opinion, this is the most beautiful structure in Brussels. Lots of other visitors agree so this indoor shopping arcade is usually very crowded. We bought chocolates here. Lots of upscale shops and some places for coffee. The design is classic mid-nineteenth century.Written November 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- measham2Accrington, UK92 contributionsSome odd reviews here where I can only assume visitors didn't make the most of their trip. The surrounding area is a little uninspiring but the Atomium itself is impressive from the outside. €15 felt slightly steep initially but once inside it's probably right. At the top there is a bar and restaurant with some great views then on the way back down there are some light shows and history on the structure. We were there almost two hours, worth the tram ride out.Written October 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA16,380 contributionsThis is the biggest church in the old center of town. It is set on a hillside and in a pretty park and towers above the old town. Some magnificent art inside.Written November 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas VOakland, CA16,380 contributionsOne of the grandest buildings on the Grand Place, you will want to linger and adore its architectural might. Take some photos, although that might be hard to do as there are so many tourists around. We were here on a weekend so were unable to get inside.Written December 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JoCotswolds, UK55 contributionsLots of events go on in the Parc all year round. My only note would be I’d love a notice board where it showed what was in the pipe line.
The ground staff are always helpful and willing to chat about floral displays etc.Written November 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The bells are also delightful.Written July 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Cme1234Singapore, Singapore442 contributionsThe parliamentarium is an interesting place. It showcases the evolvement of the EU and the agenda that it stands for.
After visiting this place, I can’t help but to think that the EU is probably under the control of the USA.Written May 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You will find them throughout the the old lower town but especially on the Grand Place. They are very decorative and from another era. I took a lot of photos. Lots of tourists around.Written December 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas VOakland, CA16,380 contributionsYou will find crowds of tourists here snapping photos of this very small fountain sculpture. It is one of the iconic images of the city, a bit cheeky to be sure. But I did not find it interesting or attractive. And the crowds are rough.Written December 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- tk3232Sugar Land, TX3,822 contributionsA beautiful place, located near the Place Royal and Park de Brussels. If you like beautiful plants, a park where you can just walk in good weather, admire the roses and landscape - this is the place for you. Perhaps visiting this park should not be your goal in Brussels, but if you find yourself somewhere nearby, why not stop by?Written September 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cangemiEssen8 contributionsOverwhelming! We managed to get tickets for the very short opening period which is normally from mid April to the frist week of May.Written May 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA16,380 contributionsThese are big significant buildings in the business and government area of the city.

- LeonhknyHong Kong, China14,198 contributionsThis is a small square at Brussels' bohemian Sablon area. Place du Grand Sablon is adorned with some neat, well-maintained houses. Great place to take a rest while exploring the Belgian capital.Written June 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LeonhknyHong Kong, China14,198 contributionsThe first sight of the National Basilica must be impressive for most visitors. It is one of the largest churches in the world and can be seen from the end of Parc Elisabeth. Given its sheer size, the basilica has a surprisingly simple, almost austere interior. It is out of tourist area and thus remains serene and peaceful. Metro line 6 connects it with downtown Brussels.Written June 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
