Just take a sleeping bag and several days' food with you - once in, it's difficult to leave, as you keep on seeing just one more thing you Really need to look at... Richard.

Hi Edric I agree with Sheila, I went many years ago when I had a friend living there. It is true that it fails to be well known by English visitors.

It certainly is one of the most fascinating for musical instruments. We have not been back to it for several years, although we were in Brussels this spring (staying with some good friends). I am sure that many of the NSP members do not know of it, although these days many English people seem to pop over to Belgium for Christmas shopping, etc. and it would be well worth their including it in their itinerary.
