The Grand Place, surrounded by grandiose guildhalls, is one of the finest squares in all of Europe, and the city has a rich cultural heritage; former residents include Magritte, Brueghel and Hergé, creator of Tintin . The city also boasts an excellent selection of restaurants, cafés and bars, where you can sample moules-frites , Belgian waffles or dangerously drinkable Trappist beer.
