Sainte-Catharine Brussels

Head over to the Grand Place, the city's central square and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Easily a bucket-list attraction for tourists around the world, gaze upon all the beautiful antique facades in all their glory.

Venture out a little further from the Grand Place and visit the Manneken Pis, a famous bronze sculpture whose image has graced many postcards. The rebellious spirit of the city is embodied in this cheeky work of art.

Another landmark that demands to be admired is the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula. Carved in stone from the Gobertange quarry, the Gothic-style buildings date back to the eighth century and are a remarkable sight.

To rest your eyes upon some lush greenery, go to the gorgeous Brussels Park, which is hemmed by the Royal Palace of Brussels, Belgian parliament and the United States embassy. During the summers, the air is crisp and fresh -- perfect to join in the weekend parties.

As the day segues into the evening, catch a performance at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie, Belgium's top opera house. Be spellbound by the performers' graceful movements and melodic yet powerful voices.

Call it a day at Sainte-Catherine Brussels, where you can fully relax in a homey setting.
