Book your travel with cryptocurrency at XcelTrip to the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium

The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (Les Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique in French) is an association of six art centers, which are considered the best in Belgium.

Located in the heart of Brussels, the Museum of Ancient Art and the Museum of Modern Art are the most renowned and most visited museums. The Constantin Meunier Museum and the Antoine Wiertz Museum are much smaller and are situated in another part of town. Lastly, the Magritte Museum and the Fin-de-Siècle Museum are adjacent to the main building and are a lot more recent.
The Royal Palace

The Royal Palace is where the King of Belgium exercises his authority as Head of State and is the official palace of the King and Queen of Belgium. It also houses rooms for the country’s special guests, most of which are Heads of State and the offices of certain ministries.

Museum of Ancient Art

Opened in 1799, the Museum of Ancient Art makes up the largest part of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. It features works of arts from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries. This museum is particularly famous thanks to its vast and remarkable collection of Flemish paintings, as well as hundreds of works of art by old masters such as Van Dyck or Rubens. It is worth highlighting its location; a remarkable neo-classical building from the end of the nineteenth century by the architect Alphonse Balat.

Museum of Modern Art

The Museum of Modern Art features works of art from the nineteenth century until the present day. Its collection of fine art is very varied and some of the best paintings are by the Surrealist Belgian artists. The layout of the museum is rather curious with eight of its floors (“half floors”) underground.
Although it is a “Modern Art” museum, the pictures, sculptures and other things in this museum are not as abstract as is the case in many other Modern Art museums.

Visit The Wonderland Of Natural Attractions, Costa Rica

Image
Costa Rica is a wonderland of natural attractions, with volcanoes, beaches, cloud forests, and unique wildlife. This is a country that appeals as much to birdwatchers and luxury focused travellers as it does to surfers and backpackers. The busy city of San Jose is home to the country’s best museums and lovely squares, but the real treasures lie beyond the capital, in the forests and small coastal villages. Endless stretches of beach line the Pacific Coast, with small towns that cater to surfers and sun seekers. Inland, the forest-covered mountains offer their own adventures, from volcanoes and waterfalls to ziplining and extraordinary wildlife viewing. Costa Rica also has shoreline on the Caribbean. While this is a lesser visited area of the country, it offers something a little different in terms of culture and attractions, and is known in particular as a breeding ground for green sea turtles. Arenal Volcano The Arenal Volcano National Park is found in the rugged

Visit the Stavropoleos Monastery and Cotroceni Palace by Cryptocurrency hotel booking at XcelTrip

Image
Cotroceni Palace This palace has a fascinating history. It began as a monastery in the 17th century, after which it became the summer residence of King Carol I. Constructed from 1888-93 at the behest of Romania's first king, Carol I, Cotroceni Palace has since 1991 been the official residence of the Romanian President. Built on the site of a former monastery (the foundations and cellars of which remain, and form part of the tour of the palace), the palace was designed by a French team of architects, led by Paul Gottereau. The design would form something of a blueprint for Romanian domestic architecture for years to come. It served as the Bucharest residence of the Romanian royal family until 1939. The part that serves today as the president's office, and official home, however, was added after the great Bucharest earthquake of 1977, and bears the stamp of local architect Nicolae Vladescu. Part of the palace is open to the public, and can be visited on a tour.
