  • Deeply Art Nouveau mansion, built 1905–11.

  • The Quartier Léopold is now dominated by the huge glass-and-steel barrel vault of the European Parliament building.

  • Every village and community in Belgium has a good pâtisserie; most shopping streets have several. These supreme concoctions of fresh fruit, chocolate, cream, crème pâtissière and, of course, pastry, are an integral part of Belgian life.

  • Fabulous chocolates, made entirely from raw ingredients.

  • The 445 “martyrs” killed in the Belgian Revolution of 1830 lie buried in this square.

  • A dynamic cocktail bar (evenings only): one side is Mexican, the other side African. The African phrase pole pole translates as “take it easy”.

  • The sole surviving gate of the 14th-century city walls.

  • The palatial Neo-Gothic former post office has been cleverly turned into a modern mall of high-profile boutiques.

  • A warm salad of potatoes and green beans, or salade frisée , with fried bacon bits.

  • Fabulous royal greenhouses.
