Top 10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Brussels, Belgium

December 24, 2021 Concepcion Newsome

Unassuming Brussels is the capital of Belgium, Flanders and Europe. Medieval Grand-Place, is indeed grand, with many 17th-century buildings and daily flower markets. Reopened in 2006, the Atomium, Brussels' Eiffel Tower, provides great views, inside and out. Architecture fans should visit Musee Horta, home of Belgian master architect Victor Horta. St. Gery's clubs and bars are packed year-round. Seafood eateries abound in Ste. Catherine. Walk, rather than get snarled up in traffic, in the narrow streets.

We loved the first game ‘The Nautilus’ so much (and were given a discount voucher) we went back the next day to play the ‘Mayan Temple’ game too! Both brilliantly constructed with fabulous twists and turns! Definitely worth the money and definitely recommend! If we had more time we would have tried the Sherlock room too. Those who get to try the Wizard themed room once built will be lucky for sure!

Horta Museum (Musee Horta)

This is not a museum in the traditional sense: the museum itself is actually the house that Victor Horta built for himself in the late 1890s, which truly exemplifies the Art Nouveau style that made Horta into one of the most acclaimed architects in Belgium.

Reviewed By Melya1028 - Brussels, Belgium

The Horta Museum is a small museum often overlooked by visitors to Brussels but really shouldn't be missed, particularly if you're a fan of the Art Nouveau style. The museum was actually architect Victor Horta's home. Horta was one of the main contributors to the Art Nouveau style or school & designed many of the city's Art Nouveau homes & buildings, most of them long gone. The museum gives visitors a taste of this wonderful architectural & design style. Tickets are about 12 Euro/$14 & your visit is self-guided. Hours are limited to afternoons from roughly 2-5 pm, but check to be sure. You can comfortably visit the house in an hour, longer if you really want to savor it.

Bois de la Cambre

Reviewed By 497veronicaw

Take your dog or just yourself, no tech devises whatsoever and walk in the chilly morning by the lake in Bois de la Cambre. If early enough or just a bit late, the chances are you will enjoy a peaceful solitude as well. Sit there in a bench and clean your mind and soul with the beauty of the nature hesitating to break already into an early spring or not.
