Museums
The Musée Magritte Museum
At Place Royale the heart of Brussels, the Musée Magritte Museum pays tribute to one of the greatest Belgian artists through over 200 of his works, paintings, drawings, sculptures or posters. Hotel Althenloh which is part of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts offers a stunning setting for this unique collection. And if surrealism is at home here, energy pragmatism is also all around you: the renovation and upgrading of the building meet the latest environmental criteria. Thus, Photovoltaic solar panels were installed on the roof, the electricity the building needs is guaranteed Green, the windows were equipped with solar protection films and modernised lighting also saves a lot of energy.
 
The Museum of Natural Sciences
Founded in 1846, the Museum of Natural Sciences quickly became a showcase for scientific research and expeditions led by the Royal Institute of Natural Sciences of Belgium. For years, the public came running to see complete skeletons of iguanodons, 135 million year-old dinosaurs, discovered in a coal mine in Hainaut. For 160 years, the Museum has continued to develop its collections on six floors. Since late 2010, it has also added a new 'BiodiverCity' gallery devoted to urban biodiversity. The gallery consists of two parts, "Observing biodiversity" and "Taking Action to Encourage Biodiversity" which can teach us how to conserve and enhance biodiversity in the city.
 
Brasserie Cantillon (Brussels Museum of Gueuze)
A visit to Cantillon is the best way to discover a true Belgian institution, beer, and one of the jewels of the brewing industry. This is one of the most authentic breweries in Brussels. For over a century, the Cantillon family has been brewing Lambic, Gueuze, Faro and Kriek according to the principles of an ancient tradition and a process of spontaneous fermentation. Cantillon can be sampled as a connoisseur and the brewery tour is for anyone who is curious: the opportunity to see that nothing has changed since 1900, as the machinery, tools, vessels and casks are original. Uncompromising on quality, anxious to promote real beer with authentic flavours, the brewery has chosen to continue to be highly selective in the choice of its brewing processes and raw materials. Since 1999, all beers have been made from cereals grown organically, which enables it to sell brews with a 'Biogarantie' label.

The Brussels Mill and Food Museum
Built at a time (1841) when wind was naturally regarded as an energy source, the mill in Evere was rehabilitated into the Brussels Mill and Food Museum and reflects the world of milling, from the origins of grinding mills to the present day. Since 2009, temporary exhibitions have also addressed the topic of food.

The Brussels Urban Transport Museum
This museum offers a unique collection of trams, buses, trolley buses and taxis that have ferried the people of Brussels around for nearly 150 years. The oldest models date actually back to 1869! In addition to the visit of its 1500 m² of exhibition space devoted to old-timers, it is possible to continue with a nostalgic tram ride on a historic tram to the historical Forest of Soignes or the Arch of the Cinquantenaire Park. There is also the possibility of arranging guided tours on request, rent a 1930s tramcar, including outside museum opening hours. Ideal for adding an original touch to an incentive trip with a "tram-bar," a "tram-drink" or "tram-cocktail" with drinks and snacks on board.
