10 Suspended Gardens at Parking 58 (Brussels)

The Suspended Gardens (also known as Skybar58) is located at the top of a parking garage (Parking 58) in Brussels. During nice weather, visitors lounge in this rooftop garden, complete with palm trees and beach accessories. This is a popular place to enjoy a cocktail, music, and a stunning view of Brussels.

11 VIBKES (Brussels)

The VIBKES parties take place once a month and are mostly attended by the Flemish. A minority of non-Dutch speakers sneak in to enjoy the friendly atmosphere though. The dress code here is something between “after work” and “early cocktails”, so no jeans or sneakers. The VIBKES venue changes frequently, so it’s best to sign up to their mailing list .

12 English Comedy Brussels (Ixelles)

The Black Sheep bar, near the famous Belga Café, hosts English-speaking stand up comedians on Tuesdays. The shows start at 8pm and the seats fill up quickly with expats looking for a laugh. Patrons can order a basket of fish and chips to be enjoyed before, during, or after the show. It’s best to get tickets in advance .

13 Cinquantenaire Museum (Brussels)

Established by the late King Leopold II, this museum is one of the largest collections of European and non-European art and historical, even prehistoric, artifacts in Belgium. It is part of a group of museums called the Royal Museums of Art and History. Do not miss the Plaster-cast Workshop at the Cinquantenaire Museum, where visitors can order their very own casts! Tours are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Admission is free in the afternoons of the first Wednesday of every month.
