The main square of Brussels on the UNESCO heritage list

The main square of Brussels is an amazing place and that’s why it is on the UNESCO heritage list. The oldest guild houses are from the 13th century. Many of the buildings have sculptures and decorations on the walls. The City hall looks enormous with its belfry. Next to all the culture and historical treasures, you find here bars and restaurants. The architecture of restaurant “Maison du Cygne” is unbelievable with its golden art pieces and a swan above the entrance door. You also find several chocolate shops and some bars sell a beer plank with several kinds of small Belgian beers you can try out. Enjoy de “Grote Markt” of Brussels.

De Grote Markt van Brussel is verbazingwekkend en dat is ook de reden waarom het is opgenomen op de Werelderfgoed lijst van de UNESCO. De oudste gildehuizen dateren uit de 13de eeuw. Vele muren van de gebouwen zijn versierd met beeldhouwwerken en decoraties. Het stadhuis met zijn belfort ziet er ongelooflijk uit. Naast al deze cultuur en historische schatten vind je hier ook cafés en restaurants. De architectuur van restaurant “Maison du Cygne” is ongelooflijk met zijn gouden kunstwerken en een zwaan boven het inkomportaal. Hier vind je verschillende chocolade winkeltjes en sommige cafés serveren bierplanken waarbij je verschillende kleine Belgische biertjes kan proeven. Geniet van de Grote Markt van Brussel..
