What to see in Brussels

1. Grand-Place
   The Grand-Place is the heart of Brussels: a cobbled square ringed by gilded, sculpted façades and overlooked by the spire of the town hall.
2. Atomium
   The Atomium is Brussels' most distinctive landmark: nine steel spheres linked together, modelled on an iron crystal enlarged billions of times.
3. Manneken Pis
   Tiny, cheeky and a little absurd, the Manneken Pis is one of Brussels' most affectionate symbols, and the city treats him like a true local.
4. Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts
   This large complex brings together several centuries of painting and sculpture under one roof, from the Flemish masters to late nineteenth-century art.
5. Parc du Cinquantenaire
   This large open park, dominated by its monumental three-arched gateway, gives eastern Brussels a sense of space the old centre lacks.
6. Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert
   These three covered arcades, opened in 1847, make up Brussels' oldest pedestrian shopping street.
7. Fin de Siècle
   Fin de Siècle is a Brussels brasserie on rue des Chartreux, with the look of an old estaminet and shared tables.
8. Noordzee Mer du Nord
   A former fish shop turned fish bar, Noordzee sits on Place Sainte-Catherine, facing the church.
