Autoworld Museum Ticket Brussels

Autoworld in Cinquantenaire Park

Autoworld is one of the best-known museums in Brussels for cars, housed in a monumental nineteenth-century hall in Cinquantenaire Park. If you are looking for an Autoworld Brussels ticket, this booking gives you admission for one day, with a time between 10:00 and 17:00.

The hall itself is impressive, with a high roof and plenty of light, so the vehicles are shown to great effect. The park outside is a pleasant place to walk before or after, with its triumphal arch and wide lawns, and it is close to other museums in the area.

The permanent collection: more than 250 vehicles

The permanent collection shows how the automobile developed over more than a century. You move from early motor carriages through the elegant cars of the interwar period to the powerful models of the mid-twentieth century, including makes from Belgium's own motoring history.

Cars are arranged by era, so you can trace changes in design, engineering and the way people travelled. Enthusiasts enjoy the detail of the engines and dashboards, and children usually pick out the vehicles with the brightest colours. Allow about one to two hours for the visit. Take a moment to read the information cards beside each car.

Temporary exhibitions and the wider theme

Autoworld also stages temporary exhibitions on a variety of themes, from a particular brand or decade to types of racing and design. The programme changes during the year, so it is worth checking what is on when you plan the trip.

These shows add variety for people who have visited before and give the museum a lively feel. Check the museum's programme for what is showing on your date. Past programmes have looked at particular brands, racing history and design trends, so there is often something new even if you have been before. The exhibitions sit alongside the permanent collection, which means you can move between them in one visit without leaving the hall or needing another entrance.

Planning your visit to Autoworld

Wondering how to get to Autoworld? Use the metro to Merode or Schuman and walk to Cinquantenaire Park, or take a taxi. Opening hours change by season, so check the time range in the booking panel for your date.

The best time to visit Autoworld is on a weekday morning, when the hall is calmer, and it is a good choice on a wet day. This ticket is admission only, so a tour guide is not included, and you can go round at your own pace. The park is open to walk around before or after your visit.
