Fodor's Review:
Built in 1381, this gate is a unique remnant of Brussels' city walls, and in 1847 became one of the first museums in Europe. Having lost its collections to the Cinquantenaire complex in the 1870s, it now focuses on the history of Brussels. There are guided tours available. If you visit, try and catch the nearby morning market, which has particularly good flower and organic food stalls.
