Brussels, Belgium

  • Grand Place in Brussels at sunset

Embark your ship and settle into your stateroom. At its heart, the graceful market square of the Grand Place boasts magnificent Flemish Renaissance and baroque facades recalling the powerful guilds that helped the city prosper during its medieval days. The Gothic City here dates to 1449. At the turn of the 20th century, Belgian Victor Horta introduced his art nouveau stylings to the cityscape. The movement altered the profile of Brussels as other architects caught on. Today’s treasures include the Saint-Cyr House and the iron-and-glass Musical Instruments Museum, where some 600 historic pieces echo a melodious past.
