This is Brussels jewel
A lot has been said and written about this place that has survived so many wars. All guides explain how it was build and the link between the buildings and the former guilds that were grouping together craftsmen. These guilds were sorts of unions or lobbies of former centuries.
In 2015 Brussels municipality founded the redecoration of all the buildings. They were cleaned and all their gold ornaments renewed. So, now Grand Place looks amazingly beautiful. Grand Place is at ten to fifteen minutes by tram from our Brugman Court apartment.

Belgian Beers
Since one of the houses is named “Maison des Brasseurs” (house of the brewers) it is quite normal to find a dedicated shop where you will find almost all beers that Belgium produces.
