Every two years, the Grand Place is covered in a flower carpet of 600,000 buds
Every Saturday, Bravo Discovery offers a free guided tour of the Art Nouveau style: you can walk around the Grand Place, see the Art Nouveau architecture of Brussels and learn who Victor Horta is and why an entire museum is dedicated to him.

If you don't want to feel like part of a small but crowded party, ask the locals for a guided tour, or go exploring the capital yourself. Look for all the 'peeing' statues (a girl and a dog are in demand), the Gothic Saints Michael and Gudule cathedral and a stroll along the ramparts. There are more than 2000 big and small chocolatiers in Belgium.
At the Museum of Cocoa and Chocolate, you'll see how pralines are made. The Wittamer shop is worth a stop for shopping and a tour as well. The family business has been spoiling Belgians with sweets since 1910 and in 1999 this particular shop was responsible for the wedding cake for Prince Philip and his bride. Buy loose chocolates for tasting and packed chocolates for presents - you'll be safe to take home.
