On the Grote Markt (Grand Place) of Brussels. I like the goose. On the left is the Belgian Beer Museum, which I think is to be moved to the Beurs (Bourse) building

Brussels Stadhuis (Hôtel de Ville) - Town Hall. "The facade is decorated with numerous statues representing nobles, saints, and allegorical figures. The present sculptures are reproductions; the older ones are in the city museum in the King's House across the Grand Place."

Huis van de Hertogen van Brabant (Maison des Ducs de Brabant) - House of the Dukes of Brabant "set of seven houses grouped behind the same monumental facade designed by Guillaume de Bruyn and modified in 1770, so called because of the busts of the Dukes of Brabant which adorn it" in the Grote Markt (Grand Place).

South side of the Grote Markt (Grand Place), with the House of the Dukes of Brabant (not Hazard) on the left. Not awfully happy with the way my iPhone makes all the buildings look wonky

The Grote Markt (Grand Place) is the central square of Brussels "surrounded by opulent guildhalls and two larger edifices", and "considered as one of the most beautiful squares in Europe, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site". I don't think I have ever seen such a concentration of tourists in a square before.
