Somewhat rundown museum, but charming for that reason. The other museums at Cinquantenaire are similarly underfunded, but worth the go anyhow. This is Belgium from the 50's...

Check out the lobby of the 1895 Hotel Metropole, preferred hotel of many stars, & the only remaining hotel of 19th century Brussels that featured in many movies. You can just walk in and ogle!;)

Drinks & Nightlife
This is a dancy place. Mostly Latin music, but RnB and pop as well. Good cocktails, and high temperatures. Not a place to sit still.

Arts & Culture
Botanique is a great concert venue! Check out the line-up on botanique.be... Lots of high-quality independent music. Adjacent is the beautiful "botanical" garden park. Great for a relaxed picnic!
