The full story

The Gothic landmark on Grand-Place offers historic state rooms by video guide, while selected weekend tours continue up the tower for a panorama.

The interior turns the square's most commanding facade into a civic history lesson. A self-paced route crosses monumental stairs and ceremonial rooms; the more demanding panoramic tour adds the Wedding Hall, Gothic Hall, balcony and a spiral-stair climb above central Brussels.
