Explore Brussels’ chocolate story with an audio guide, praline-making demonstration, and generous tastings at Choco-Story Brussels.

Just enough information to go with each exhibit and description of Banksy ideas very simple but poignant. Yes go, we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and lay out of the exhibition.”

The reason for a 4/5 review was we found the staff to be a bit rude and unhelpful and the museum itself was very confusing to find your way around and there was not a lot of signage directing you how to exit. Overall though the trains were super cool, you could climb into many of them to get a better look, and the kids that were visiting with other…”
Explore Brussels Autoworld Museum, home to 250 historic vehicles, royal limousines, motorcycles, and changing exhibitions.
“The selection of cars with historical information to where you didn't feel overwhelmed, but you got a great amount of knowledge and could focus on the vehicles' presence. Displayed very well and very clean museum.”
