What travelers are saying
- Kim GPacific Grove, CA3,856 contributionsExquisite highlight and center of Brussels. This picturesque UNESCO-designated historical site exudes architectural detail, style and wealth.
This gilded Lily is dripping with an abundance of gold adornments. So much grandeur to absorb, my husband and I opted to dine on the square to more fully process the magnificent architectural details.
Truly, too much to completely take in; its beauty is overwhelming! You will find yourselves standing in the center of the Grand Place & spinning.
Enjoy every breathtaking moment!Written March 20, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Half of the shops are chocolate shops and the other half are out of my price range. It has lovely, calm vibes and has beautiful architecture.Written February 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephanieTexas33 contributionsWe took an Uber on a cold rainy day and enjoyed this Brussels treasure along with our escape from the elements! Inside you will encounter elevators, escalators and stairs along the journey to see museum artifacts from the time when this was constructed. Several of the pods have fun music and light shows to sit down and watch as well!Written March 3, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jhell PHong Kong, China256 contributionsAn impromptu decision to visit Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪 was worth the trip.
Started with Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula
a medieval Catholic cathedral in central Brussels, Belgium. It is dedicated to Saint Michael and Saint Gudula, the patron saints of the City of Brussels.Written February 4, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Judy431Grayson, GA97 contributionsBeautiful stained glass windows! Lovely church and well maintained. Free to visit though there are places to donate to the poor and for the upkeep of the church. I had a nice peaceful visit.Written June 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ardeshir BTehran, Iran201 contributionsThe picture looks bigger but we were walking for half an hour in the tiny streets and almost walked past it without even realizing it. Expected much more than a “must see place when in Brussels”Written February 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lucyemmaWellington, New Zealand58 contributionsThis garden is quite small but nicely presented. At the end of the day, it is just a garden, and it's quite small so you can't spend much time wandering out. A good thing to look at, but you don't need much time.Written February 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Phayao13Stockholm, Sweden7,608 contributionsIt is difficult to understand its richness from the time when these magnificent buildings were created.We were there when the facade lighting was switched on and the already impressive building shone. Somehow the beautiful was enhanced.Grateful that commercialism has been resisted and the square is kept free of advertising and obscure restaurant developments.Written November 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert OCrofton, MD87 contributionsWant to learn how the European Union, the Eurozone, the European Parliament came to be? The Parlamentarium does well in presenting the history of the European Parliament. Worth doing in tandem with the House of European History and visiting the European Parliament Hemicycle to see the EU government in action.Written November 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA19,484 contributionsWe passed by this huge building a couple of times in a cab and in a bus and it was striking because of its scale and because of the garden in front. Security forces around, of course. Not sure how much you can see inside.Written December 4, 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.

- Jurgen BBrussels, Belgium2,903 contributionsIf you want to see expensive cars in Brussels, this is the place to be. Also lots of superb chocolate / pralines shops and some overpriced bars and restaurantsWritten June 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheyarvLondon, UK60 contributionsWe came as a family with 2 children under 10 who don't speak French.
I'd say it's probably a very interesting museum if you speak French or you're older and deep into comics, but it's not worth your time if your kids like a bit of Tintin or Asterix and Obelix etc and think there might be something for them here.
They did enjoy the library on the ground floor for 15 minutes, which was also peaceful

Impressive and imposing over the city yet a beautiful place to get a panoramic view of the city and admire the architecture.Written November 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
