Brussels is the capital and largest city of Belgium. The Place du Grand Sablon is one on the city’s most beautiful spaces and a popular spot for people watching and laid-back lunches. Meanwhile the neighbouring Place du Petit Sablon corrals together some of the city’s most striking monument, including 48 statues (representing the medieval guilds) and a grim fountain which relates the demise of two beheaded Belgian Counts. A short walk then takes you to the capital’s most prestigious gallery, the Museum des Beaux-Arts. The Museum of Cocoa and Chocolate (13 Grand-Place) is a good place to start when visiting Brussels.
