4.5Town Hall (Hôtel de Ville)(3.354 reviews) - Impressive Architecture with Great History Monday: Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
We took the guided English tour and learned a lot about the building, the city, and the country. The tour guide was the best. He basically told a story with lots of humor and important tidbits to make the tour most enjoyable. The rooms are impressive and one can see the evolution of the building throughout the different centuries. The tour staff is lovely. Very friendly and kind people. The tour lasts about 50 min and well worth the price of admission.See more..
4.5Notre Dame du Sablon(2.017 reviews) - A gem of 15th-century Gothic architecture in Brussels Monday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites

Begin the weekend strolling the weekly antique markets on the Place du Grand Sablon.See more..

4.0Place du Châtelain(107 reviews) - Hyped by real estate agents Monday: 6:00 AM - 10:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks
If all the surface car parks with some trees were listed on TripAdvisor there would be a tremendous number of such listings. Why Place du Châtelain, with its parked SUVs and other vehicles that should be banned from city centres, should deserve an exception is a mystery to us. There is nothing to see, really. The architecture isn’t interesting and there are few shops, restaurants or cafés on the square itself. Most are to be found in the adjoining streets where there are some pleasant spots like Lulu Home. The very expensive food market on Wednesday (2 p.m. to 7 p.m.) seems to attract a lot of well-to-do French expats. Locals stay away.See more..

4.5Casa Natal de Julio Cortazar(11 reviews) - For literature and architecture lovers Points of Interest & Landmarks
Apart from looking up at the second floor of the house where Argentine writer Julio Cortázar was born on August 26, 1914 and reading the commemorative plaque next to the entrance there isn’t much to do here because the house is not open to the public. Cortázar only lived here for a very short time anyway because his family moved to Switzerland to flee the war. But just opposite the house, under the trees lining Avenue Lepoutre, there is a rather tormented-looking bust of Cortázar (1914 – 1984) by Argentinian sculptor Edmund Valladares on a high pedestal (2005), which is worth a glance. Avenue Lepoutre, off Place Brugmann, can easily be reached by taking tram 92 (Fort-Jaco) on Rue Royale or at Louise to ‘Darwin’. From there a short stroll along Rue Darwin takes you directly to Place Brugmann. Architecture lovers should not miss the opportunity to explore this pleasant residential area of Brussels boasting several listed buildings of various styles.See more..
4.5Sint Janskerk(10 reviews) - Definitely a visit Points of Interest & Landmarks
It was definitely worth a visit to a beautiful historical building! One of many reasons what makes it worth every time spent! See more..
4.5Stade Joseph Marien(9 reviews) - The ghost of football past Points of Interest & Landmarks
Wonderfully atmospheric football stadium, with its original 1919 stand, complete with stained glass in the reception area, now playing host to Royale Union St-Gilloise. This still proud outfit is currently languishing in Belgium's Division 3B but once enjoyed success in the old Inter Cities Fairs Cup as a top flight club, number 10 in the Belgian hierarchy of club registrations. The football may have gone down a notch or two, and the hallowed stadium may bear the scars of pragmatic safety measures, but the atmosphere remains. A mixed crowd of fans and enthusiasts sings its encouragement in three languages, and the occasional smoke bomb interrupts the intellectual euro-conversation from the cosmopolitan regulars on the terraces nursing their plastic cups of Maes. But the ghost of football past suffuses the place, with folk memory undimmed. Who can forget the 4-0 thrashing by Czechoslovakia over Norway in the Quarter Finals of the Olympic Football competition held here in August 1920? The Czechs, managed by a Scot, went on to contest the final in Antwerp but stormed out after the 65-year old English referee had awarded two iffy goals to their opponents, leaving the gold medal to the host nation, Belgium. Not to be missed...See more..

3.5L'Arche(2 reviews) - This ark has trees Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks A mural we saw was L'Arche at the corner of rue Maes and chaussée d’Ixelles, 1050 Brussels by François Schuiten and Alexandre Obolensky. This mural illustrates a sustainable city of tomorrow. The Ark invites us on a journey through the streets and alleys of Ixelles/Elsene. The mural is done in Schuiten’s style: gigantic and familiar. When it was completed, the artists created a soundtrack that can be downloaded by passers-by. Allow ~ 15 + min for your visit.See more..
5.0Maison des Arts de Schaerbeek(1 review) - Centre d'expositions situé dans un château urbain du 19eme Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings • Monuments & Statues
Passez la porte cochère du 147 chaussée de Haecht. Vous vous retrouvez face à un bâtiment invisible depuis la rue, qui date de la période néoclassique. Le jardin arrière, ornée de sculptures, s'admire dans un calme olympien; n'oubliez pas jamais que vous êtes dans un quartier densément peuplé. Si l'Estaminet est ouvert, soyez curieux et poussez la porte de cet endroit charmant, qui sert des produits frais et faits maison. La Maison, restaurée depuis 2017, propose régulièrement des expositions d'art actuel. Mention spéciale à l'attention portée aux arts textiles. La Maison, c'est aussi une atmosphère, que vous comprendrez parfaitement dans le salon du premier, décoré de boiseries néo-Renaissance. Qui rappellent un peu celles de l'hôtel de ville d'Antwerpen (Anvers).See more..
