If you are looking for elegant and authentic things to do in Brussels, Mont des Arts is a wonderful place to start. This emblematic site connects the upper and lower city and offers one of the most charming views in Brussels, with gardens, monuments and cultural institutions all around.

The gardens below the esplanade create a peaceful green transition through the city. They lead towards the statue of Albert I, while Queen Elizabeth stands opposite on Place de l’Albertine. Mont des Arts is also where you can visit the KBR Museum and discover KBR, the national library of Belgium.

Just nearby, Square Brussels Convention Centre adds another layer to this urban landscape, while Bozar, BELvue and the Museum of Musical Instruments are all within walking distance. From Hygge Hotel, Mont des Arts offers a refined mix of city views, calm gardens and cultural discovery.
