描述
Admire the Royal Palace of Brussels, visit one of the most beautiful town squares and town halls in the world, & the extravagant Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert at the Europe's first shopping arcade.
Start the tour with the Church of Our Lady of Victories (Sablon Church) and its mysterious legend which started the historical procession and medieval festival Ommegang, attracting thousands of local and international attendants. The stunning 15th-century church which kept the image of the Virgin Mary which is paraded around the street every July is a testament to Brussels' medieval past and its enduring faith.
The next destination is the Royal Palace of Brussels, whose façade is a half bigger than that of Buckingham Palace considering the same splendid neoclassical style. Surrounded by a well-manicured garden and iron-wrought fence, the Belgian official setting of royal formalities looks like a protected precious pearl in the heart of Brussels.
Then, stop by the Mount of the Arts, ideally located between the Royal Quarter in the upper part of the city and the lower part housing the city’s trade centre. The landscaped garden perfectly embraces the notable architecture of the Royal Library of Belgium and the National Archives of Belgium, but the highlight of all is the terrific views of the soaring Gothic tower of the Town Hall from here.
Continue to marvel at the flamboyant Gothic façade of Brussels Town Hall in all its glory: accurate proportions, ornate sculptural details, and its magnificent tower topped by the statue of the city's patron. Its splendor is elevated by the location on the Grand Square, one of the most beautiful squares worldwide.
Also dominating the square and adding to its magnificence is Brussels City Museum. More sober in style, its Neo-Gothic exterior gives tough competition to the opposite Town Hall. This is no surprise because its 16th-century owner was the Emperor Charles V of Spain, whose statue sits in the central tower welcoming visitors to marvel at the rich heritage of his glorious reign.
Next, browse through the 19th-century Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert, one of Europe’s most beautiful and oldest shopping malls. Walking past exquisite window displays of jewellers, upscale brands, and exclusive boutiques feels like appreciating an art gallery as its name suggests.
Save the best for the last: St Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral, the most emblematic religious monument in Brussels. Similar in style to the Sablon church, the cathedral is even more mesmerizing inside out; so much so that the Neo-Gothic gem is not only the city’s religious hub but a beacon of beauty and history that embodies the essence of Brussels.
