One of the must see locations in Brussels. We went on a Saturday morning. Free to enter. There is also a museum inside that charge Euro 4 if you want to see some very interesting antiques. Definitely worth checking the museum. It’s one of the most worshipped holy places in Belgium.

What a stunning cathedral!! The interior is so beautiful and felt so peaceful. We went towards closing time (5pm) and therefore it was very quiet inside. Definitely worth a detour if you are into cathedrals and architecture. The outside is modest looking, but a absolutely breathtaking inside.

An incredible masterpiece of architecture and art… well worth the visit! So much history and so many pieces of art and sculpture… Enough to fill hours if you want! The building is very impressive.

A great church to visit in Brussels. Got amazed with the architecture and glass inside. Totally recommended to visit if you travel to Belgium

This was a stunning cathedral to visit in Brussels. The exterior reminds you of the facade from Notre Dame and the stained glass windows on the interior are beautiful. Well worth a visit and no entrance fee.

Even more beautiful in real life, the Cathedral of St Michel and Gudula dates back to the 9th century and it was truly wonderful to see this cathedral in real life for the first time... I heard there is also guide tours that one can go on if you wish to hear the full history...

Beautiful cathedral and still in use today. Serene with the organ music. Deserves reverence both as a church and an iconic Landmark.

The Brussels Cathedral, St Michael and St Gudula Cathedral, dates to 1519 in its current form. Its twin towers dominate the center city with their 65 m elevation, truly a touristic magnet for the city, ornated with stunning stainglass windows.

Beautiful monument with amazing stained-glass windows and decorations. The entrance is free so well worth a visit.

A very beautiful church, especially when complemented with some snow. Free to enter.

Well maintained/restored structure sure to be popular with architectural history buffs. You can roam around freely to take in all the details and there are not any restrictions on photography (like in some cathedrals). I especially liked the old school confessional which brought me back to my parochial school days.

Lovely cathedral and display of nativities representing multiple cultures worldwide.

What a beautiful, beautiful example of Gothic architecture! I spent at least 30 minutes just walking around the outside because there is just so much to take in.

Incredible structure, and majestic design. Worth a short visit. Wish I could read more about its history but every information screen is with a fee.

Really love the that place, visitors were around but pin drop silent inside. Infrastructure inside was very beautiful and colourful :-)

The gothic architecture is one of the finest I have seen so far. It was a majestic and very beautiful cathedral. Peaceful as well. The cathedral is open to all and mass and other services are being held here.

Beautiful church :-)
When you enter in the afternoon (I went on a Saturday), just next to the door you have volunteers who take you around.
The visit was around 1h and went in great detail (interesting information) of the church, stain glass windows and history.
It's a great way to see more than what appears at first glance.

Visit the cathedral at Christmas and see the so many different Christmas decorations, from Chinese to Ukrainian. Must visit. Free entrance. Quiet atmosphere.
