Things to see near Brussels Central Station

After my visit to the Grand Place, I was getting a bit tired, so I wanted to take the train back to Rotterdam. But when I arrived at the train station, I found out that I missed the previous train and had to wait for almost an hour before the next train arrives. That's why I went outside again to pass some time. (Lesson learned: always write down or memorize the train schedule).

I will share some pictures of what you can find near Brussels Central Station.

Angoraplein, Brussels uneven ground

In this picture of the Angoraplein, you can see very well how uneven the ground in Brussels can be.

Moof Museum in Brussels


This comic museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday (10:00 - 18:00). The entrance fee for adults is €10 and for children (below 10 year old) €3 and (10 to 18 year old) €6.


When it was time to go back, I took the route back to the Brussels Central Station through the Rue Infante Isabelle. This is the road at the right side of the Moof Museum. But inside the Central Station building, I found a direct entrance to the Moof Museum, so you might be able to reach the Central Station from inside the Moof Museum too.

Places that I planned to visit


There were some other places that I wanted to visit, but because I was running out of time, I think I will leave it for another time.

If you are interested, they are:
Market with seafood stalls: Place Sainte-Catherine market/ Sint Katelijneplein (Thursday, Friday and Saturday).
Large food market: Anderlecht abattoir market (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). It is near metro station Clemenceau. 
Rue de neuve: a shopping street with many mainstream brands, Galeria Inno, and City 2 shopping mall.
