    Plaizier

    Posted by SimonLi 18 January 2006

    Forget the tacky giftshops selling Mannekin Pis corkscrews - this charming little shop hidden in a side street behind the Grand Place is the place to come for thousands of postcards, posters, art books, CDs and other knick knacks relating to Belgium and Brussels.

    50 Rue des Eperonniers, Brussels. www.plaizier.be/index.cfm?type=any&action=showpage

    The Grand Place

    Posted by SimonLi 18 January 2006

    Can't believe no-one's mentioned it yet, but the Grand Place is the one genuine "must see" in Brussels, justly reputed to be one of the most beautiful squares in Europe, with its gabled guildhouses and the towering Hotel de Ville. There's a Son et Lumiere display every night during the summer months, although the buildings don't really need flashing lights to draw attention to themselves. The Mannekin Pis and Galeries Hubert are just around the corner.

    Nearest Metro - De Brouckere or Gare Centrale
