The Top Things to See and Do in Brussels in 2025
"Originally constructed in the 18th century, I see the Royal Palace as the ceremonial heart of Belgium where the King and Queen host receptions and handle state affairs (they don’t live there full time); its façade is notably 50% longer than Buckingham Palace’s, and if you visit between the end of July and the end of August when the royal family is on vacation you can tour the gilded rooms—including the Throne Room, Hall of Mirrors, and the Marble Room—free of charge." - Matthew Kepnes
