Brussels - Don't Miss
There is huge variety in Brussels' lesser-known attractions – from the dazzling interior of the Japanese Tower to the tucked-away Magritte Museum in the artist's former home.
Get lost in history in the three museums clustering in the Cinquantenaire – dedicated to cars, the army and art – grouped around Léopold II's Triumphal Arch and set in a peaceful park. Go and look down on kitsch Mini Europe before looking up to the steel-and-glass edifices of the European Quarter. Close by, at the renovated Natural History Museum, dinosaur skeletons delight and scare the youngsters.
There are churches and cathedrals scattered around the Grand' Place – for an example of pure gothic, you can't beat Saints Michel and Gudule Cathedral on place Sainte-Gudule.
Maybe it was an EU dictate that decided that it is not just boys who can pee. In 1985 equal rights were upheld and the Janneken-Pis squats and gushes on the Impasse de la Fidelité, just across the Grand' Place from the famous little fountain.
