Grand Place
The Grand Place, also known in Dutch as the Grote Markt, is a town square in the center of the city, surrounded by Gothic architecture. It has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The first building on the site, the Hotel de Ville, or Town Hall, dates to the 15th century. Most of the other buildings were constructed in the 1600's, including Le Cygne (The Swan), which has served as a private residence, a guild hall and a cafe where Karl Marx held meetings of the German Workers' Party. Today the Grand Place is home to a flower market, a variety of shops, bars, and restaurants; it also hosts both jazz and classical concerts. The Hotel de Ville houses the official Brussels tourism office.DK: The Grand Place, Brussels Fodor's: Fodor's Choice Sights and AttractionsHistory
