Exploring De Grote Markt van Brussel.

Grote Markt is Great Market in English.


Grote Markt is in Dutch.  It is a main square in the city of Brussels. Also known as Grand Place,  is a pavement 68 by 110 meter.  Grote Markt is the center of attraction for Brussels because this unique place accommodates an open market, weddings reception, cultural exhibition and whatever events.




The Grote Makt is enclosed by the City Town Hall, Museum, Cityguilds, Maison de Roi  ( Breadhouse ), and Hotel de Ville.



This open market offer varieties of item from souvenirs, handicrafts, textiles, food and drinks.  You just named it.



I was here at the Grote Markt.  September the 19th, 2015 was the lucky day for me.


Flowers and fruits are beautiful and bountiful.



By coincidence there was  an Austrian Cultural Exhibition.


No comment,


This Grand Place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988.



You can enjoy the horse carriage rides here in Brussels.


Every year in August a large flower  carpet is placed in the center of the square.  This has become a tradition.
