Strolling around this beautiful yet magical medieval city to visit their Christmas Market actually never crossed in my mind but since my first visit in mid 2019 then I have a dream to come and enjoy the vibes there.

Day 2 Itinerary
Places visited: Museum of Natural Sciences - Hergé Museum
Museum of Natural Sciences
Museum Of Natural Sciences in Brussels suddenly popped on my searching history on Google when I’m looking for some ideas about places to visit during my holiday.
What makes me curious actually because they have this special exhibition about Antartica during my visit so yes this place suddenly on my list to visit.
Found out I learned a lot about history of Dinosaurs and human evolution in such an interesting displays. Mostly families with children visited this place over the weekend but this is a good place to get some knowledge during your holiday.
The museum itself have spacious place and huge collections to show more about the evolution of various species in the world.
Entry fee for the museum is €7 for permanent exhibitions and €9,5 for permanent exhibition + special exhibition (this price valid for Adults).
Hergé Museum
This one is a must visit place for those who growing up enjoying the series of comic albums, The Adventures of Tintin.
Yes, it’s Hergé Museum which located in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. It’s around 40 minutes trip by train from city centre.
This place is dedicated to the life and work of the Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi who wrote under the pen name Hergé. You can walking down the memory lane by seeing all the exhibitions in this museum.
I am really enjoying my time here by seeing and exploring lots of beautiful works of Hergé and how his works becoming one of the famous comics in the world.
Entry fee is €12 but they have different fee for large families, group, etc but every first Sunday of the month it will be free entrance for everyone. Lucky for me because I was there on first Sunday in January.
At the end of your trip, you’ll find a small store which sell merchandise of Tintin and I find this store really interesting.
So pack your bag and make a visit to this museum.
