This was a very interesting tour about the history of the city and the building, . Has some gorgeous tapestries and other art. The guide was very entertaining and informative. Worth a visit.

This museum is unbelievably cool, including the building itself. It’s free with the Brussels Card - something I cannot recommend enough if you’re visiting the city for a couple days, as you can also add on an all-inclusive transit option for fairly cheap. It really gave me a greater appreciation for the city after learning more of its fascinating history.

Three level museum with lots of cool art, architecture and history. I really like the statues and things from olden Belgian times. It’s semi hidden in the Grand Place but you can find it if you look closely. Would recommended you come check it out!
