When shopping in Brussels, the first street to head to is RUE ANTOINE DANSAERT. That's the place for the local designers' avant-garde boutiques together with the more familiar international labels, while for the flagship shops of the well-known fashions designers (from Armani to Gucci), head to WATERLOO LANN and AVENUE LOUISE. Also pass by the pedestrian RUE NEUVE and the ROYAL ST. HUBERT GALLERIES, the oldest covered shopping arcade in Europe not far from the Grand Place. Browse the shops there, and rest at one of the many cafés.
The city's "must buy" is of course Belgian chocolate, and we know where to find the best of them in the city. Find the details below, along with our selection of Brussels' shopping destinations you should mark on your map.

LOCAL FLAVOR


Pierre Marcolini
Because you can't leave Belgium without buying chocolate, this is the best shop for that.
