Mont des Arts in Brussels

Mont des Arts is a historical site located in the center of Brussels, which has now become an art district with a strong artistic and cultural atmosphere. Strolling along the Mont des Arts, in addition to visiting museums, art galleries and other attractions, the unique viewing position allows you to have a bird's eye view of the charming city of Brussels. Historical background: Art Hill was previously densely populated, and by the end of the 19th century, Leopold II wanted to transform the hill into an art district. From 1956 to 1958, a large number of geometric neoclassical buildings were built, such as the Royal Library of Belgium and the Congress Palace. There are now 16 art and cultural venues such as the Magritte Museum and the Brussels Museum of Musical Instruments.
