Coudenberg

Coudenberg, located halfway between the upper and lower cities, has been a residence of princes since the 111th century. You may not be able to shop here, but you can fill up on culture in one of its four museums. Catch a glimse of the King or celebrities visiting the palace, or go for a jog round the park or listen to a concert at the Palais des Beaux-Arts. Best of all you’ll get a superb view over Grand-Place from the top of the Mont des Arts.

Place Royale
This elegant neo-Classical square, with its statue of Godefroy de Bouillon, is the work of Charles de Lorraine. Enter the arcade to the left of the museumof Modern Art to explore the fine Louis XVI style palace whose wings close off the view of the museum square.

Parc Royale
These lovely grounds, laid out in the French style, were designed by B.Guimard in 1775. As you walk along the tree-lined avenues you’ll come upon a great many sculptures with mythological subjects, artidical lakes and delightful pavillions where concerts are stages in summer.

Palais des Beaux-Arts
This centre of cultural life houses a vast concert hall with amazing acoustics, a theatre and exhibition spaces. It was also one of Horta’s last designs. He was still setting the trend in 1922 with his pure lines heralding Atr Deco and his extensive use of concrete. Each year the prestigious Queen Elisabeth competition is held here.
