Town Hall in the middle of Grand Place has a long history - some true and some mythical! The building makes for a great photo op and has a city information area inside with some souvenirs and brochures.

I was here in December 2018 and went on a free walking tour where they told us that you can buy tickets for tours inside the town hall for Wednesdays and Sundays. Tickets are only available on the same day as the tour and they're in English, French and Dutch (€7 for adults, €4 for children). You get them from the tourist information centre in the Grand Place.
You head through the archway and into the door on the right just before your allotted time. You can leave coats and bags downstairs, then head upstairs to have a tour of the various rooms. Our guide spoke brilliant English and showed us the rooms where the Brussels Berger-master and colleagues meet to determine what will happen in the city. You also see a ceremonial room where people can now get married. All in all, a good tour which lasts just under an hour.
Outside of course, the building is beautiful, but there are issues with it - it's not symmetrical for a start, the windows don't match etc. It's an awesome building none the less, but make sure you read up about it / do a tour to find out about the outside and its quirks.
The Town Hall is located in the incredible Grand Place. It is a gorgeous architectural landmark. We were here last summer just before they put in the flower carpet in the square.
This is an amazingly intricate building structure in the Grand Place in the old town of Brussels. Fantastic sculptures on the walls and tower of the entire building from such skilful craftsmen. You need to see the building in the daytime, as well as at night when the bell tower is beautifully lit up.
Town Hall is located on the amazing Grand Place, surrounded by lots of people, cafes, restaurants, shops and a never ending scene of activity.
Beautiful town hall with lots of restaurants and artists. Buildings are incredible to watch and around it id many shops!
