Ancienne Belgique

The Ancienne Belgique (AB) is the beating heart of the Brussels music scene. With roots dating back to the 15th century and a strong reputation since 1979, the AB is considered a leading venue for live music. From emerging talent to world stars, its iconic halls bring concerts to life in an atmosphere that is both intense and unforgettable.

Brussels Parliament

The Brussels Parliament is the legislative assembly of the Brussels-Capital Region. Its daily task is to serve all citizens of the Brussels Region. It has 89 representatives (72 French speaking and 17 Dutch speaking), who are directly elected every five years. The buildings of the Brussels Parliament were used as the provincial assembly until the division of the province of Brabant in 1995. After a number of changes, such as improving the connections between the various rooms in the palace and creating a larger hemicycle, the mirror room, grand salon, dining room and other salons, which were part of the former 18th-century house of Limminghe, were also refurbished or restored.

Mirano

The Mirano, nestled in the heart of Brussels, is much more than just a nightclub. A former neighbourhood cinema that opened in 1934, it was revived in 1981 as a nightlife venue inspired by Studio 54 and the Palace in Paris. It quickly became an avant-garde space, bringing together music, fashion, performance and freedom of expression, particularly for the LGBTQ+ community. Its iconic rotating dance floor has welcomed international stars such as Grace Jones, Kylie Minogue and Prince, as well as offbeat events such as a fashion show with elephants in the street.

Cinéma Palace

The Palace is an arthouse cinema located in the heart of Brussels. It is a place for screening, reflection and for people to share their love for the art of cinema. The Palace aims to be open, welcoming and accessible to as many people as possible.With its four screening rooms (seating 373, 139, 60 and 84 respectively), the Palace is committed to meeting the expectations of its audience by offering a unique experience thanks to its state-of-the-art technical equipment. Comfort, cleanliness and quality are its top priorities. Talented individuals such as Béatrice Dalle, Noémie Merlant, Romain Duris, Yolande Moreau, Michel Hazanavicius, François Ozon, Baloji, Jacques Audiard, the Dardenne brothers, Paul Hirsch (the editor of Star Wars!), Léos Carax and John Tarachine have all visited the Palace.

Museum of Illusions

The Museum of Illusions Brussels takes you on an adventure where reality is distorted and perceptions are challenged. Nestled between Place de la Monnaie and Place de Brouckère, this interactive museum is housed in the former La Gaîté theatre. With over 60 optical illusions and fun installations, the museum offers a captivating and interactive exploration. From rooms with deceptive perspectives to stimulating games, each space is designed to amaze and educate. Whether you are curious, playful or passionate about science, come and enjoy a unique, fun and unforgettable experience!

Jardin du Grand Hospice

The Grand Hospice - renamed Hospice Pachéco after merging with an institution founded in the 18th century and installed between 1843 and 1887 on the site of the current Square Jean Jacobs - is the work of architect Henri Partoes. Each new project requires new energy and new synergies to adapt perfectly to the constraints of a new mission. That is why a call for projects on the theme of living together was launched to fill the spaces. Our team wants to involve the neighbours and local associations that support the project on a daily basis in order to create a real culture of proximity. Our local partners, Jeugdhuis Chicago Maison de Jeunes, the Alhambra Committee, the non-profit organisation Chicago back and the LD³ / Het Anker centre now have spaces available for their activities. This focus on co-construction is centred around both the occupants and the users.
