The Belgian monarch's official palace, a grand neoclassical building overlooking the Parc de Bruxelles, whose opulent state rooms include the Mirror Room with its beetle-wing ceiling. Entry is free when open. The catch is it only opens to the public for a few weeks in summer (roughly late July to early September).
