BOZAR: Centre for Fine Arts

Upper Town Fodor's Choice

This is the city's principal venue for classical music concerts and dance theater. Originally the first multipurpose arts complex in Europe, it was designed by acclaimed Belgian architect Victor Horta and was first opened in 1928. The Henry Le Boeuf concert hall has world-class acoustics. The complex also houses a theater and an art gallery, which plays host to some excellent traveling exhibitions.

Cirque Royale

Lower Town

A major concert hall that has pop acts, theater, comedy, ballet, and just about anything else you can imagine. The building dates from 1878, and for years it was home to the capital's permanent circus (hence the name)—its basement stalls were able to accommodate 110 horses. Tickets can usually be bought at Ticketmaster or FNAC.
