Does the Grand Place in Brussels (Belgium) live up to its name? (In pictures)

I was in Brussels, Belgium and was really excited to see 'The Grand Place', after all, it is rated as one of the best squares of Europe. Having seen a number of squares in Europe, I rarely get impressed immediately and same was the case with Grand Place. I was a little underwhelmed when I saw it during the day but luckily, I decided to give it another chance at night. I am extremely glad that I did so, as it is indeed one of the most beautiful squares when seen after sunset. So a travel tip would be to visit the Grand Place at night. The pictures below might give you an idea whether or not it is worth it:
