The main reason why you should visit this railway station is because of its architecture. It was build by Calatrava. The same architect that build the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia. There is a parking lot at the station, but rather expensive. An other reason is the temporary exposition 'Napoleon – beyond the myth'. It end on January 9th 2022. This immersive cultural adventure, covering nearly 3000 m², traces the many facets of Napoleon Bonaparte. The entry fee includes an audioguide.See more..

4.5Collegiate Church of Saint Gertrude(150 reviews) - Heart of Nivelles Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Architectural Buildings • Churches & Cathedrals
We enjoyed a visit to the church while staying in Nivelles. We arrived right as a wedding was ending, so we enjoyed watching the bride and groom exit from a distance before walking around the outside and then entering the church. It is very old and quite impressive; apparently it has been mostly rebuilt after damage during the world wars, but it still looks old and was redone in the original style. There was no fee for entering, and we spent about 20 minutes enjoying the views of the inside. It's not as impressive as some cathedrals we've seen, but still worth the stop and the enjoyable location in the heart of Nivelles.See more..
4.5La Grande Abbaye de La Ramee(37 reviews) - Very nice place Spent < 1 hour Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
I recently attended a meeting here with work. The room was very small with a tiny window and no TV, they said there was no TV to make people socialise in the lounge areas. the food was excellent as was the facilities and grounds, there is a small gym and water/massage beds, did not use either but they are there to be used for no charge. The host was excellent as was the Chef's that gave a small presentation before the meal with the food and wine that we were going to have each night. The snacks in the break times were varied and excellent quality, you need some will power not to eat too much. Great place for a business conference / meeting.See more..
