From its UNESCO World Heritage Sites to the world’s largest collection of René Magritte works, Brussels has landmark attractions for everyone.
Grand-Place
Widely considered one of Europe’s most beautiful city squares, the Grand-Place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the heart of historic Brussels. Also known as Grote Markt, it is surrounded by opulent, ornate Baroque and Gothic guildhalls and the stunning City of Brussels Town Hall (Hôtel de Ville), most of which were built in the late 17th century, and remain the workplace of the mayor and their aldermen today.
Magritte Museum
Housing the world’s largest collection of the renowned surrealist artist René Magritte and located in the heart of Brussels, the Magritte Museum features paintings, gouaches, drawings, sculptures, and painted objects alongside the most important works from the artist’s short-lived ‘vache’ period. Part of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, the selection of works is constantly expanding and changing which sees art connoisseurs and tourists alike return time and again.
Bozar
Considered the city’s most visited cultural destination, Bozar is the home of concerts, exhibitions, film screenings, contemporary dance, and theatre performances in Brussels, where creativity and artistry come alive. Prioritising originality and innovation, Bozar aims to be a vibrant space for the living arts, housed within Victor Horta’s architectural masterpiece in the middle of the Mont des Arts, where the upper part of Brussels meets the lower.
