I was there in the summer and the site was stunning, especially at night. I will admit to a cheap pink tower hanging from my keychain

I raised many eyebrows when I raved about Brussels' Grand Place, but I found it beautiful and fun. I was awed by the square, then drooled over the many beer, chocolate, and lace shops around it.
