The Grand-Place is the central square of Brussels, surrounded by guild houses, the City Hall, and the Maison du Roi, renowned worldwide for its decorative and aesthetic wealth. A UNESCO World Heritage site since 1998, it serves as a venue for cultural events including the biennial Flower Carpet festival, the Ommegang procession, and concerts. Visitors can explore the square's architectural heritage, including the reconstructed stone guild houses built after the 1695 French bombardment, and visit the Brewers Museum housed in the historic Brewers guild building.
