Brussels From Above and Waffle Tasting at Place Louise

Discover Brussels on a guided walking tour from Place Louise to the skyline. Enjoy panoramic views, explore the Palais de Justice, and savor a classic Belgian waffle.
Begin at Place Louise, one of Brussels’ elegant urban squares. As you step out onto Avenue Louise, feel the mix of modern boutiques, historic architecture, and the city’s subtle uphill slope. Take a moment to look around, the area is lively but not overwhelming, with trams gliding by and the scent of fresh coffee drifting from the cafés.

From Louise, walk 5–8 minutes down Avenue Louise toward the Palais de Justice. As the massive stone building starts to rise above you, notice the open space at Place Poelaert, one of the best panoramic viewpoints in Brussels.

At the viewpoint, see the entire lower city, including the old quarter, rooftops stretching far out, and even the Atomium on clear days. The elevator (Ascenseur des Marolles) moves up and down the cliffside, watching it gives a cool sense of the city’s vertical layers. Pause here. Brussels looks peaceful from above, and you can hear the distant hum of streets below.

Facing away from the skyline, you’re now right in front of the Palais de Justice, one of the world’s largest 19th-century courthouses. Walk along its huge pillars, circle the façade for dramatic photos, and admire the golden dome that glints in the sun. Even without going inside, its scale alone is breathtaking.

After soaking in the atmosphere, head a few steps toward the tram stops or the shops around Louise. You’ll find several waffle spots nearby. Order a Brussels waffle (light, crispy) or Liège waffle (caramelized, soft). Top with chocolate, powdered sugar, or strawberries, no wrong answer here. Eat it warm while walking back toward the viewpoint or along Avenue Louise. The smell of melted sugar and butter drifting through the crisp air makes this part unforgettable.
