When in November 2012, I went to a tour of the famous capital of Europe, I was very happy to find out that the travel program includes a visit to beautiful Belgium, as well as its main city - Brussels. Unfortunately, most tourists believe that in the capital of Belgium there is nothing to look at the statue of the "Pissing Boy" and the main square. But this is not the case, because Brussels is rightfully considered to be a cultural center of Europe, where you can see many unique objects of the excursion show.
Almost all sightseeings begin with visits to the most beautiful area of Europe - Grand Dance, on which there is a huge number of interesting monuments of history and culture. The history of the square has several centuries, for example, in the 13th century, numerous trade ranks were noisy here, holidays were regularly satisfied, knightly tournaments, and Suknunny worked, and even justice was nevertheless.
It seemed to me very unusual that the facades of each house at this amazing area were decorated with original and skilled carvings, various garlands, neat and interesting statuette and columns. The guide also told us that each of the Grand Dance buildings has its own name, for example, here you can find the house "Wolf", "Trolley" or "Lisenok".
Interest for tourists, first of all, is a beautiful old town hall Hotel de Ville with the statue of Archangel Mikhail, and its walls are stored a unique collection of luxurious wall carpets of the XVI-XVIII centuries manufactured by hand.
Be sure to visit the House of the King, which is open to excursions at the appointed time, because at the moment it is the largest historical museum in Belgium, where a huge collection of costumes for the statue of Mannequen PS or Pissing Boy is also kept.
The territory of Brussels is a huge number of cozy cafes and restaurants, where you can try the real Belgian chocolate, and in the boutiques of the city you can buy interesting souvenirs from chocolate, for example, the figurines of the "Pissing boy", which will surely delight your relatives and loved ones and become an excellent reminder of Travel to lovely Brussels.
