    Cool Spot, Not Much to See

    You definitely get a view out over the city from this spot, but I'm not sure it's worth writing home about.

    Great view, but local authorized should clean up the mess!

    Great view on the city of Brussels. Unfortunately, people are throwing their trash on a rooftop under the viewpoint. The local government doesn't same to bother cleaning up, since the pile of trash is very big not to say massive. Same goes for the graffiti....More

    Good Spot to Get Acquainted With Brussels - Quick Visit All You Need

    Good spot to get a nice overview of part of Brussels. It overlooks a valley view of the city. There's some cool monuments to the World Wars, and good views of the Palace of Justice. No real reason to linger.
