1. Train World
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 717 reviews
Train World is a showcase for the Railways of the past, present and future. We are not just another railway museum; we are more of a train opera. Visit us and spend an unforgettable day in the Train World universe. You will discover the most beautiful and unique pieces from the history of the Belgian Railways. We combine the fascinating story of the train throughout the centuries with a look into the future; a combination that has been deliberately applied in every story. You will find us in the Schaerbeek station, one of Belgium’s oldest and most original station buildings. Together with the new museum complex in the form of a sawtooth shape, this location represents a wonderful symbiosis of old and new in the Art Nouveau heart of Schaerbeek.

A lot of reviews seem to focus on this being a place for kids, but adults too can be entertained for a good 2 hours. The exhibits are impressive and plentiful, spread over 3 huge halls, from the earliest days of steam right up to the latest Eurostar, Thalys or ICE trains. Thoughtful sections on history such as the living conditions of railway workers or the role of Railways in the holocaust gave gravitas and social context too. Very well laid out and the audioguide was excellent. Highly recommended.

This is one of Brussels ‘green lungs’; an area to escape the noise of the city. Bordered by trees – many imported from around the world for their interesting leaves, bark and shape – the park has many statues and sculptures of local worthies who have no doubt contributed to the park and Belgian society.
As usual in Brussels you get the impression that this must all have been very beautiful, very grand, 100 years ago, maybe even just 50 years ago, but now the ponds are choked, the park is getting dug up, paths are blocked, the café is surrounded by a wire fence… even the donkeys look as if they are on their last legs. And yet this is still a beautiful park to walk round. We saw a wedding party using the park as a backdrop for their photos, children in groups from the schools getting lessons sitting on the grass, the local community having a picnic day. This is a great park, you could be miles away from the city. Enjoy what is left while it is still available.

This establishment has a few small brewing equipment displays, and 2 videos that will give you a brief introduction to the brewing process, but I would not call it a museum. After viewing the displays, you are given the opportunity to "sample some Belgian Beer"....MoreThis concerns the Belgian Brewers Museum, and not the Schaerbeek Beer Museum. Please, post your advice on the right page.

Reviewed By Massimiliano P - Novara, Italy
Questa chiesa è collocata nel mezzo del lunghissimo viale Reale che porta da Leaken fino al palazzo di Giustizia ed è visibile già a grande distanza. Ci siamo passati di venerdì pomeriggio e abbiamo potuto ammirarla nella sua imponenza solo dall’esterno in quanto era chiusa, non so se lo sia abitualmente o se in altri giorni sia invece accessibile al pubblico.
5. Piscine Neptunium

Reviewed By Steph_FR-BE - Schaerbeek, Belgium
La piscine a été construite en 1953 et il semble que les choses n'aient peu évoluées. Un sérieux rafraichissement serait utile. Les larges couloirs amènent à un vestiaire équipé de minuscules cabines en bois avec un éclairage blafard. Le personnel vous ouvre et vous ferme la cabine.
La piscine est équipée d'un bassin de 33 m avec 3 plongeoirs et d'un bassin d'apprentissage avec une profondeur variable avec une eau relativement chaude.
Il semble que la seule chose qui ait évolué est l'installation d'une grande verrière et d'un toboggan. Il ne fonctionne pas en permanence mais le personnel sympa peu le mettre en service s'il y a suffisamment d'enfants.
