Stroll the Sablon, Brussels' elegant antiques-and-chocolate district. Browse dealers and chocolatiers around the Grand Sablon, then pause at the Gothic church or the tranquil Petit Sablon garden.
Full description
The Sablon is one of Brussels' most refined districts, centred on the Place du Grand Sablon and the smaller Place du Petit Sablon with its ornamental garden. Antique dealers, art galleries and prestigious chocolatiers line the cobbled streets, and the Gothic church of Notre-Dame du Sablon anchors the scene.
Weekend antiques markets bring extra life to the square. The area is calm and handsome rather than busy, ideal for a slow stroll, a browse of the shops, or a coffee and pastry stop between the Royal Quarter and the Marollen.
