Anderlecht

Anderlecht is a city located in the Brussels-Capital Region of Belgium, famous for being home to the Royal Sporting Club Anderlecht, one of the most successful football clubs in Belgium. The city was also once the residence of the renowned medieval humanist thinker and theologian Desiderius Erasmus.

Anderlecht is a city in the Brussels-Capital Region that’s well worth visiting. The towering Collegial Church of Saint Peter and Saint Guido still stands in the city center, with its Romanesque crypt — the oldest in Belgium, dating back to the 10th century. Next to the church, the former Béguinage houses the local history museum; the House of Erasmus and its medicinal garden, built around 1450, along with the Cantillon Brewery, are highly recommended sites offering insight into the area’s history, culture, and industrial heritage. The city also boasts numerous gardens and architectural landmarks in Neo-Gothic, Romanesque, and Art Deco styles. Quaint streets are lined with unique pubs, restaurants offering a variety of cuisines, and a rich local cultural scene that are all worth experiencing.
