CINÉMA LUMIÈRE
Read moreAn old-fashioned art house cinema, but with its finger on the pulse of cinema. Every year, a prestigious festival is held here (the MOOOV festival), promoting reruns of major films from around the world that are eagerly awaited in Belgian cinemas. The best thing about cinoche en Flandre is that the films are always shown in their original version, but also with French subtitles, so if you're so inclined, don't be afraid to hear Auteuil spoken in the language of Gezelle! In this ciné Lumière, enjoy a coffee in the brasserie, bathed in a bath of culture.
CACTUS MUZIEKCENTRUM
Read moreIt's the only (large) concert hall (apart from the classical and jazz-oriented Concertgebouw) to program all international and national pop, electro, hip hop and jazz fusion artists. Every year, it organizes the Cactus Festival (one weekend in July), which welcomes major headliners (including Massive Attack, Erykah Badu, Air, Lauryn Hill, Beach House, Bonnie Prince Billy Macy Gray, Gregory Porter in 2021), and also takes part in the Moods! (July-August) and More Music! (one week in April).
