Top 10 Best of the Rest
-
1. Galeries Royales de Saint-Hubert
When it opened in 1847, this elegant shopping arcade was the grandest in Europe (see Galeries Royales de Saint-Hubert).
-
2. Musée du Costume et de la Dentelle
Exquisite examples of costume and lace, an industry that employed 10,000 women in mid-19th-century Brussels (see Musée du Costume et de la Dentelle).
-
3. Place des Martyrs
The 445 “martyrs” killed in the Belgian Revolution of 1830 lie buried in this square.
-
4. Église Notre-Dame de la Chapelle
This large, atmospheric church is like something out of a Brueghel painting – aptly so, since Pieter Brueghel the Elder is buried here.
-
5. Palais Royal and Les Musées Bellevue
See how the other half lived in the grand rooms of the Royal Palace, one of whose wings now houses a museum devoted to the history of the Belgian royal family.
-
6. Palais de Charles de Lorraine
This suite of 18th-century rooms contains a small but select exhibition of furniture, porcelain, clocks and other artifacts.
-
7. Musée du Cinéma
A fascinating collection, in the foyer of a cinema, tracing the early history of the moving image.
-
8. Porte de Hal
The sole surviving gate of the 14th-century city walls.
-
9. Palais de Justice
There is something gloriously megalomaniac about this vast Neo-Classical pile.
-
10. Musée du Jouet
This delightful toy museum appeals to both adults and children alike.
