Welcome to our enchanting 4K walking tour of the iconic Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium! 🇧🇪 As spring blooms around us, we’ll immerse ourselves in the heart of this historic square, where centuries-old architecture meets vibrant modern life.

Grand Place has rightfully earned its UNESCO World Heritage status. As we wander, remember that you’re treading on a piece of living history—a place where celebrations, protests, and everyday life intersect.

Grand Place (also known as Grote Markt) lies in the heart of Brussels and is often touted as one of the most beautiful public squares in the world. Its history dates back to the 12th century, and it was completed in its present form during the 17th century. The square boasts elements of Baroque, Gothic, and Louis XIV architecture and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 19981.

The main buildings in Grand Place that steal the show are the Maison du Roi (King’s House) and the Hôtel de Ville (City Hall). The Maison du Roi, known in Flemish as Broodhuis (Bread House), stands out with its impossibly high steeple and ornately carved façade. The Hôtel de Ville, known as Stadhuis in Flemish, is equally impressive. Both buildings are iconic landmarks in Brussels1.
