Uccle is one of the largest and most affluent areas of Brussels. It is characterized by its abundance of green spaces and old buildings, from historic churches to one of Brussels’ oldest pubs. Although a little off the beaten track for most tourists (and indeed, many locals), there are plenty of hidden gems to discover here.

Museum David and Alice van Buuren
The Museum David and Alice van Buuren is a private house built from 1924 to 1928 for banker and art collector David van Buuren and his wife Alice in Brussels, Belgium. The house was decorated by David and Alice as a total work of art to present their art collection in a rich Art Deco interior. The house is surrounded by gardens designed by Jules Buyssens in 1925 and René Pechère in 1968 and 1970. The house was declared a National Heritage site in 2001. The private house became a museum in 1975 according to the testament of Alice van Buuren.
