Venice has St. Mark's Piazza, which Napoleon called the "Great Living Room of Europe," but Brussels' Grand Place might be called Europe's rumpus room. This historic square has been the focal point of the city's social and civic life for centuries and hosts various different markets. Most of the gay bars and clubs are within walking distance of the square. Ask for the street called "Rue du Marché au Charbon" and look out for the rainbow flags in the windows. Most of the venues stock the free gay map/guide, which lists every association, nightclub, clothing store, sauna, or sex shop you could possibly want or need during your stay.
