Museum calendars

  • The Magritte Museum’s official calendar should determine the upper-town museum day. This route visits the museum at Place Royale, which is different from the René Magritte house museum in Jette.Source: Musée Magritte Museum · checked Sep 2026

Tickets and internal routes

  • Online Comic Art Museum tickets are not fast-lane tickets. Admission still needs to be checked, and the museum’s opening calendar includes seasonal exceptions.Source: Comic Art Museum · checked Sep 2026

Plan the outer-city day

  • Use the Atomium’s official access page for public transport information and follow the current STIB-MIVB journey plan for the transfer across Brussels.Source: Atomium · checked Sep 2026

How this plan was made: Tripwoa's planner drafted the day order from real coordinates and typical visit times. Each stop was then reviewed, reordered where needed and rewritten with AI assistance. Walking distances are straight-line estimates, so allow a little extra time on real streets.
