Looking for inspiring things to do in Brussels during your city trip? Mont des Arts is one of the city’s most elegant and rewarding spots. Linking uptown and downtown Brussels, it offers a beautiful panoramic view in every season and a lovely place to pause in the heart of the capital.
Below the esplanade, the landscaped gardens lead down towards the statue of King Albert I. Across the road, on Place de l’Albertine, stands Queen Elizabeth, creating a quiet historical dialogue at the centre of the city. Mont des Arts is also a cultural hub. Here you will find the KBR Museum, part of KBR, Belgium’s national library and home to the remarkable Library of the Dukes of Burgundy.
On the other side of Mont des Arts, you will find Square Brussels Convention Centre. Within walking distance, you can also explore Bozar, BELvue and the Museum of Musical Instruments. From Urban Yard Hotel, Mont des Arts is a perfect stop for travellers who want to combine gardens, heritage and culture in one walk.
