Brussels
Grand Place is Brussels’ best feature and is a truly spectacular open square surrounded by the buildings of the ancient guilds, the imposing Hotel de Ville and a bar with a real fully-grown stuffed horse! There are many excellent buildings and monuments, including royal palaces, and a statue of our Field Marshall Montgomery who liberated Brussels during the war. However, general grubbiness (including the Police smoking on duty) and a lack of greenery don’t do the city any favours whatsoever.
