Introduction
The Grand Place in Brussels, known as one of the most beautiful squares in Europe, is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The square is not large, measuring 110 meters long and 68 meters wide, and is surrounded by many bars, shops, and restaurants, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Every two years in August, an unparalleled flower carpet, measuring 77 meters long and 24 meters wide, is laid in the center of the square, composed of millions of colorful begonias, forming various beautiful patterns.
In addition, there are several trade union buildings and the famous Swan Restaurant, La maison du Cygne, around the square (with higher prices), where Marx once discussed communism with his colleagues. There are also several cafes on the square, where you can take a break from exploring. The exit in the northwest corner leads to Rue Au Beurre, where there is an ancient Saint Nicolas Church. There are often music performances by artists at the entrance. If you can't find it, just follow the sound of music. Address Grand Place, 1000 Brussels, Belgium
