À propos
Faits rapides: The city hall boasts one of the finest Gothic facades in all of Belgium, decorated with intricate statues of biblical figures and medieval rulers. Its construction stretched across nearly three centuries, so you'll spot a wild mix of architectural styles from Gothic to Renaissance to Baroque.
Points forts: Look closely at the facade during the day and then come back at night: the statues are lit individually, casting dramatic shadows that make the stone carvings look like they're moving. Locals say the building has a hidden spiral staircase where the stone steps are worn down a full inch from centuries of footsteps.
Conseils d'initiés
- Skip the self-guided visit and join the free guided tour at 10am or 2pm to see the grand council chamber.
- Wear comfortable shoes for the steep stone spiral staircase to the clock tower with panoramic city views.
- Check the building's calendar for temporary art exhibitions that take over the Gothic halls.
- The best photo spot is from the far side of the Belfry standing directly across the square.
