The Top Things to See and Do in Brussels in 2025

"This beautifully manicured Neo-Renaissance park is a tranquil stop before or after Notre Dame: I appreciate its collection of 48 statues atop pillars integrated into an ornate wrought-iron fence—each statue representing a medieval profession—and the central fountain depicting two counts who led the Dutch revolt, surrounded by a semicircle of 10 famous 16th-century individuals." - Matthew Kepnes

A charming little park in the city, with beautifully manicured gardens inside. There's a large fountain with benches around it, and several large sculptures flank it as you go up the stairs alongside. It's a great place to sit read, people watch, relax, and take it in. I stopped here to rest my feet after walking around for hours. I got a nice seat, had some water, and just relaxed by the fountain. I happened to be in town the same time as the Omegang- so I found some gentleman in costume in the park! They agreed to pose for a photo for me. Such a beautiful little park.

Gorgeous tiny park with pretty statues and shrubbery! Loved walking around and taking pictures. We were only there for 5 minutes, but there is lots of sitting to sit and enjoy the park as well. Don’t stand on even the edge of the grass, because ladies patrolling the park will frantically shout at you 😂

Square du Petit Sablon is a charming, peaceful escape in the heart of Brussels. This small, beautifully landscaped park is a masterclass in design — from its wrought iron gates to the 48 bronze statues lining the perimeter, each representing a different medieval profession. It feels like a living piece of art. The highlight is the central fountain and the statues of the Counts of Egmont and Hornes — a quiet tribute to a powerful piece of Belgian history. The perfectly manicured hedges and blooming flower beds make it an ideal spot to take a breather, read a book, or simply enjoy the ambiance. It’s not a tourist-packed site, which makes it all the more special. A true hidden gem that feels worlds away from the bustle of the city.

A very beautiful park. Very calming and clean. The benches are beautifully made of dark wood and very well maintained. No trash around. From the park you have a beautiful view of the Church of our lady Victorias
