The Grand Place
The Town Hall
Brussels' town hall stands 96m tall
Close-up Look of the building
I don't know them! They just want me to take picture of them lol
The Grand Place or Grote markt (in French) is the central square of Brussels. It is surrounded by Town Hall, Guildhalls and the Breadhouse. The square is the most important tourist destination in Brussels.
As I mentioned on my previous post, that I finally got a job and my first day was here in Belgium for 3 weeks training. For 1 week I just stayed at my flat, it was very cold it's around -8C and it just snowed 2 days before I came.
I asked my colleague if she can take me to Brussels and she accepted my request so we went last Sunday February 12. I was so thankful that I met her before she left to Italy otherwise I would have not seen this place or if I did see it by myself (without her) I would have only taken pictures of the buildings and places in Brussels without me in the pictures hehehe. And I'm so very thankful for her kind gestures of bringing me here eventhough she's been in Brussels twice during her stay in Belgium for her training.
Brussels from where we staying is a 1 hour and 20 minutes by train (without transfer) but you can choose other train that has 1 transfer and it will take you only for 54 minutes. But then we opted to take the longer trip to avoid hassle and transfer ;-)
Oh I miss them so bad, there's no place like home.
PS:
I had unforgettable experiences during my first day here and during my first ride on the train to Brussels.....but I decided to keep it secret....hahaha.

Isn't is amazing how other countries knew how to build things. All Americans know how to do is tear things down and build high-rises.
Beautiful photos.
What an architecture! Sana may photo rin ng isang pagkain ng Belgium.
Ganda ng photos, thanks for taking me to Brussels, Ms. Missy!
Magpagaling po kayo para pagbalik niyo sa US ready na sa work.
You can always ask a stranger to take a pic of you with your camera, just make sure he/she is a tourist or somebody you can outrun if he/she takes off with your camera LOL. Btw, great pics!

Had been to this place last August. What a wonderful square. Did buy a few paintings (yet to put them up)
I presume Tintin's latest movie also shows this place in the opening scene.
