    City Hall on the Place
    One 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.

    City Hall Tour Very Good
    Great building to look at on the Grand Place. We also did the tour inside which we pre-booked which was a good idea as was full on the day. If you pre book go inside the building entrance in the courtyard as it starts inside. The tour was about an hour long, was informative and with humour. Would recommend.

    Beautiful outside and inside
    We went on a guided tour, it lasted an hour and cost approx 15 euros each. Tour group is small, the guide was fantastic, lovely and welcoming. The tour was very interesting, a good blend of past and present information about Brussels and the building itself. If you like history this is the tour for you.

    You have to book your time to go in, so take a ticket as early bird and go to the trip when wanted
    Beautiful architecture outside and inside. Pretty interesting history and information with the audio guide. About an hour round trip inside. You have to book your time to go in, so take a ticket as early bird and go to the trip when wanted.

    Worth visiting with the audio guide
    The visit includes a self-directed audio tour. It was pretty good in that for each room in the Town Hall, we could choose to read/hear about specific artefacts in the room. It also helped that some paintings were highlighted for us as they were not as clear in real life due to the dim lighting in the rooms. The tour took about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

    Take a Tour of the Interior
    Make sure you pre-book a tour of the interior of this building. Beautiful decor of the time period with French influence verify evident. Most tours are with an audio guide. There are also panaromic tours on certain days.

This old 15th Century Gothic Building is situated in Grand Place in Brussels. The architecture of the building is amazing, decorated with many statues all around it. The spire stands tall overlooking the square of Grand Place and during the time we were there it was extremely crowded with tourists. It is especially nice at night when everything is lit up. You can apparently take guided tours through the interior but we didn't do this. Just being outside and enjoying the square was enough for us.

The star attraction among the host of marvelous buildings surrounding the Grand Place. The Town Hall was built in the first half of the 15th century. It's unquestionably one of the most magnificent buildings in the world, constructed with elaborate detail, ornate statuary, and a graceful elegant 96-meter tall central tower. Hugely popular with photo-taking tourists; nearly impossible to get a photo without throngs of people photo-bombing your shots.

The Hotel de Ville is located right on the Grand Place in the heart of Brussels. We weren't able to tour inside, but the exterior is an impressive piece of architecture. The shiny golden statue of Michael (the patron saint of the city) on top of the tower, and you can see it from multiple places throughout the city. Definitely be sure to look for and admire this building when you're at the Grand Place.

Extremely disappointed.

The website is a nightmare to negotiate.

When you eventually get to the page it says booking is not required.

Turned up at the allotted time 2pm on Wednesday for the English tour to be told you have to pre-book and they only have 25 tickets available and all were sold out.

Complained that the website said booking not required, staff could not care less.

This is perhaps the most recognizable place in Brussels, and when you see it in person, you'll know why. It is amazing, huge and has so much to see. It is also surrounded by other beautiful and historic buildings and churches, and cafés, restaurants. You cannot miss it

This is probably the place to go to when tourists must choose a building at the Grand Place. Brussels' city hall is well in line with the city's grandeur and prominence. A truly impressive structure, it may need a guided tour for more information about the interior.

City mediocre room and very expensive!!!! Coke 20cl to 3,7€ a bottle of water 8,5€ 1 liter the toilets of shopping centers in downtown 1€ .
Very disappointed with this city where everything is expensive! Trash cans in plastic bags most are ripped apart by crows and foxes seen hunting etterbeek.
For us Belgium is really Award even public transport is expensive one euro a ticket more than in Bordeaux
I would not recommend this city worse than I have ever seen in all my Trips.
