What travelers are saying
- Graham MorrisExeter, UK535 contributionsGreat shopping arcade for window-shopping - and spending if you can afford it. Best of all is to stop for a beer or coffee or even lunch and just watch the world walk past.Written September 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- doppelganger_etThessaloniki, Greece1,216 contributionsThe St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral, also known as the Brussels Cathedral is a striking building. Relatively plain on the inside, but with beautiful stained glass windows to admire.Written October 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David BSan Juan Cosala, Mexico353 contributionsAutoworld, is in a cavernous, historic building that houses an impressive, permanent collection of over 300 vintage classics, racing, luxury, concept and prototype automobiles, spanning over a century of automotive history. Many of them were new to me, being exclusively European marketed only.
You don't have to be a diehard car lover to enjoy Autoworld and view its great vehicles on display. Many are rare and many new names will be unfamiliar, but the beauty, glamor and styles of all will impress anybody.
Overall, AutoWorld offers a comprehensive and captivating journey through automotive history, showcasing a diverse collection of vehicles that will appeal to car enthusiasts and possibly even those who just like to ride in cars.Written June 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My husband and I were looking for something to do on our last day in Brussels and decided to go here for a quick visit. Two hours later we were still there! The admission ticket comes with an audio guide which plays the music of the instrument you are viewing. It is a very in-depth museum that explores all types of instruments and time periods. You should definitely allow at least two hours to see everything. I highly recommend this museum!Written September 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Isometimestravel13Leicestershire, UK95 contributionsWe visited in September as a couple and pre booked the tickets online.
Well worth a visit, the dinosaur hall is a must see!
We got there as soon as it opened, glad that we did as it became much busier midday/early afternoon. They also have a great cafe onsite selling various food and drinksWritten September 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Not every important Magritte paintings were there, it is bit disappointing, but I think it was worth to wait for it.Written September 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Veronika BVelika Gorica65 contributionsWe really had a good laugh and fun here!! People who work there are nice and will explain everything.

- traveldocGrosse Pointe Farms, MI687 contributionsLovely church - worth visiting
We loved the view inside and outside
There's also a lovely (extremely) well manicured garden across the street
And the neighborhood there is funWritten September 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We found the experience easy to navigate, well annotated in 3 languages including English, and light levels only dipped to protect exhibits. There is a good, wide ranging collection of locos and rolling stock, many 'step on' or 'pass through.' The side displays of memorabilia, including models, uniforms and the poignant looping footage of WW2 transportation were all excellent. A great way for any rail enthusiast to spend a couple of hours plus.
As a source of local heritage and information Train-Word compares well to York. The only room for improvement I could see would be more interaction for younger visitors, although the two hi-vis jacketed primary school trips going around when we were seemed to be enjoying themselves .Written July 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hannah B1 contributionWhat a brilliant museum, very interesting to look around and for the price is a bargain as it’s jammed packed with so many artefacts. It was also fascinating to learn about Belgium history. Would really recommend.Written June 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FloweLeafBunnyApeldoorn, The Netherlands65 contributionsThis was such a cool museum! The amount of nostalgia i got was amazing. They have a lot of different sections of toys and i loved that! It’s easy to look at, some of the vitrines were pretty dark so you couldn’t really look into them but it still was good! I definitely recommend!Written August 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- cangemiEssen8 contributionsOverwhelming!

- Thomas VOakland, CA17,737 contributionsWe passed by this huge building a couple of times in a cab and in a bus and it was striking because of its scale and because of the garden in front. Security forces around, of course. Not sure how much you can see inside.Written December 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DKandtheMadDogChorley, UK218 contributionsBeautiful house with lovely design & furniture. However it would have benefited from something to bring the exhibits to life. Didn’t get a feel for Horta himself or other residents.
The house was being restored when we were there & some of the descriptions did not match the contents of the rooms which was confusing.Written September 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
