Part 3/10:
Exploring the Heart of Brussels
Rejuvenated from our coffee break, we toured the Galeries Royale Saint-Hubert, a stunning shopping arcade filled with renowned chocolate shops. Overwhelmed by the tempting aroma and sights of chocolates, we indulged our senses by visiting several shops. Notably, Tropismes bookstore grabbed our attention with its storybook aesthetics, though the selection was slightly limited for English readers.
We couldn’t miss the grandeur of the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, known for its medieval architecture and stunning stained glass windows. A stroll through Grand Place followed, which is likely Brussels' most iconic landmark, surrounded by beautifully adorned buildings that echo the glory of Flemish architecture.
