This is probably the most “touristy” place in Brussels, if not in Belgium, and it is easy to understand why. Aesthetically speaking, the Grand Place is generally considered as one of the most beautiful places in Europe. To accede it, one need to pass through the surrounding neighborhoods, which mostly means pleasant feelings and special atmosphere.
Also, a number of little attractions and (old-school) activities are often present there. Artists (musicians, imitators), sponsored events, Christmas decorations, all those factors contribute to make it a largely appreciated place.
Finally, this is worth to say a little word about the cafés and restaurants around the place. Most of them are really enjoyable and stylish, but… in my opinion it still doesn’t justify to pay such a high price for a cup of coffee. Never mind, that’s a classical situation in places for tourists.
