Pro Patria Monument
Statues and monuments abound in Brussels, but the Pro Patria Monument holds particular importance. Standing in the Place des Martyrs, the memorial honors the lives of those who fought for the independence of the nation.
Museum of Natural Sciences
The third-largest collection of its kind, the Museum of Natural Sciences houses several interesting exhibitions, including an extensive collection of dinosaur fossils. Visitors have the opportunity to learn about as many as 37 million species in the museum’s collection.
The Basilica of the Sacred Heart
Tourists interested in architecture should visit the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, which holds the world record for the largest Art Deco-style structure. The church includes two museums, and guests can enjoy unparalleled views of Brussels from the cupola.
