The Bourse of Brussels is the stock exchange of the country. While a handsome neoclassical building in itself, the Bourse marks the border between the old town center and the more modern district of the city with many chain clothing outlets and fast food restaurants along Boulevard Anspach.

a beautiful building, if you wait 2more years, you can visit inside..
While we were walking passed through this building, it is very attractive and the guide said it is a stock exchange company and did not said it is 'purse' and build in Napoleon time. So we just passed through and did not spot it.
Used to play a much more important role in Belgium's economy before European integration, and most stock trading went digital. Nevertheless, it is still an interesting visit.
Despite appearances, this IS the Brussels Stock Exchange. The Scottish Bagpiper just happened to wander out of the (excellent) Irish pub, O'Reilly's. Apparently, Rodin himself worked on some of the elaborate sculptures that adorn the building. The Grand Place is only 100 meters away.
