Which one is for you?
Brussels Card is best for tourists who are spending a limited time in Brussels and want to see the city’s main museums, such as the Royal Museums of Fine Arts, in a short period of time. It also includes transportation options, making it easier for tourists to get around the city.
However, if you plan on visiting multiple cities in Belgium over a longer period of time, museumPASSmusées would be a better option. It provides free access to a larger number of popular museums in Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges, Gent etc., and you have a year to use it.
