Besides its political importance it also comprises of pleasing aesthetic beauty. The sights are worth seeing and the monuments worth visiting.

The Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula or ‘Cathédrale Saints-Michel-et-Gudule’ is a Roman Catholic Church found on the Treurenberg hill in Brussels.

The Duke of Brabant stored the relics of saint Gudula here. Originally its sole purpose was storing these relics but over the years it was renovated, given a new façade and a new choir till it became the leading church of Brussels. All occasions of importance like weddings and christenings of Brussels take place here.

With a marvelous gothic style architecture this building is a wonder to look at1 artists, architects etc will find its technicalities and design very much inspiring. The stain glass windows featured here are outstanding! Various painters are responsible for this beauty. One window with ‘the last judgment’ on it gets illuminated in the evening.

Al in all this cathedral is worth a stop and if you choose to make that stop don’t forget your camera!

The rich private houses in some of its areas are just unbelievable. Houses of all sorts of architecture are found here. Masterpieces of renowned architects and designers like Horta, Struyvens, and Hankar litter the town’s upper area.

The Horta museum or Musée Horta, which is actually the houses that Horta designed for himself, has been declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Hotel Hannon is another art nouveau building which has been converted into a museum called the Contretype Museum of Photography.

Saint Gilles doesn’t just feature buildings and museums which can only be appreciated by architects and artists. It also features a range of interesting shops and restaurants. A very famous tea shop is one with an archaic atmosphere. You will find all kinds of vintage stuff there. Not only this funky furniture made from old parts of cars, motors etc is also sold at a shop.

Brussels is a posh area full of sophisticated nobles and uptight formal people. But Saint Gilles is not so clean. So you have to be careful as to the area in which you decide to venture. But again, Saint Gilles is also more interesting then Brussels. So if you ever come to Belgium and come to Brussels, you simply must take the tram that leads to you to the small municipality of Saint Gilles.

Almost 80 cities and 350 buildings of Europe can be seen here. Though only representations these monuments have a very realistic feel and is worth visiting. So if you can’t afford a trip to Europe you may want to visit Mini-Europe in Brussels instead!

Its models are extremely costly and many of them were built from money given by European cities. Silicone molding, epoxy resin and polyester are only few of the materials used. The artists who constructed these representations are the best in their field and what they’ve created is unbelievable.

The park does not comprise of only dead, still replicas of great monuments, it even features simulations or live action models of trains, mills, eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Airbus, cable cars and more.

‘The spirit of Europe’ which presents all the information pertaining to the Europe Union and the best part is that it isn’t some boring display of large placards that you have to read! Most of it is in the form of multimedia games!

A large amount of greenery gives it the aesthetic sense that it requires. Ground covers, dwarf trees, bonsais and grafted trees are only few of the kinds of plants found here.

All in all it is a place that must be visited if you happen to find yourself in Brussels.

The Anderlecht Beguinage is composed of four simple houses which are arranged around a central garden close to the church. It was actually the tiniest beguinage of Belgium with only eight residents and was built by the funding of one of the canons, William Doyen of the Chapter of Anderlecht.

In 1930, the structure was turned into a museum open to public. The museum is made up of two houses and there is a narrow path leading to the entrance. They are located around a lovely inner courtyard, offering a splendid view of the nearby Collegial Church of St Peter and St Guido. The inner garden has a covered well and is flanked by two rows of maisonettes.

For the history lovers, the museum contains a local history collection documenting a thousand years of Anderlecht past. The museum shares a common administrative office with the Erasmus House, the former home of the great Renaissance scholar Erasmus of Rotterdam.

The Colonial Garden:
Standing next to the royal park of Laeken, this garden was created in 1905 by king Leopold II so that he could bring his collections of exotic plants from Belgian Congo there. At the entrance of the garden, Léopold II built a ‘cottage’ in Norman style according to the plans of the architect Haneau. The garden happens to be a part of a green walk which connects the Heysel with the Wood of Laerbeek.

Park of Laeken:
Opne all the year round, the park has an open view on Brussels on one of its sides and a great view on the royal palace at its other side. The park takes pride in its collection of trees like chestnut-trees, rowan trees, purple beeches, and so on. Some of them are more than 100 years old.

Osseghem Park:
Standing in a quiet place within the pulsating urban habitation, this park is situated not far from the Atomium. From 1 April till 30 September, it is open from 6 am till 10 pm and from 1 October till 31 March, it is open from 7 am till 9 pm.

The Leopold Park:
The pond of this park is the last vestige of the Maelbeek valley. It is open from 1 April to 30 September from 6 am to 10 pm and from 1 October to 31 March from 7 am to 9 pm. Visitors can discover the medieval Eggevoort Tower, which dates from the 15th century. On the spot of the former greenhouse Victoria Regia stands the bust of Jean Linden, botanist and traveler (1817-1898) who introduced a variety of more than 650 plants in Europe.

The statue has always been an object of controversy in the history of Brussels. Since the time when the original version of the statue, cast in bronze by Jerome Duquesnoy, was installed on the site in 1619, it has faced a lot of attacks and yet it manages to stand there. On one occasion, the figure was shattered to pieces. The remains were used to create the mold from which the contemporary version of the statue was cast.

Apart from threats from vandals, it has also managed to stay one piece even during war times. During times of war, it was always disassembled and hidden to avoid destruction in bomb raids. Once, this statue was stolen by residents of the Flemish town, Geraardsbergen, who claimed that their own statue of the peeing boy is the oldest in Belgium.

The statue is dressed in costume several times each week and its wardrobe consists of more than 600 costumes which are kept at a permanent exhibition inside the City Museum, located in the Grand Place, immediately opposite the Town Hall. The collection also includes folklore costumes and a collection of special outfits, such as the complete Elvis Presley or Mickey Mouse costumes. The costumes are managed by the non-profit association The Friends of Manneken-Pis, who review hundreds of designs submitted each year, and select a small number to be produced and used. Many costumes represent the national dress of nations whose citizens come to Brussels as tourists; others are the uniforms of assorted trades, professions, associations, and branches of the civil and military services.

On occasion, the statue is hooked up to a keg of beer. Cups will be filled up with the beer flowing from the statue and given out to people passing by.

The visit to Brussels is incomplete without a look at this marvel. There are many hotels near Manneken-Pis some of which are Hotel Amigo, Bedford Hotel and Congress Centre, Eurostars Grand Place Hotel, Hotel Mozart, and many others.
