A
Bourlaschouwburg
Beautiful old theatre with a rounded façade topped by statues of nine muses, composers and writers. Built in the 1830s for the city's French-speaking elite by architect Pierre Bourla, it eventually fell into disuse and was on the brink of demolition only a decade or so ago. It's now home to Het Toneelhuis theatre company. This company also commonly plays at a second venue, Studio Tokio on Museumstraat in 't Zuid.

Théâtre Royal de Toone
Eight generations of the Toone family have staged classic puppet productions in the Bruxellois dialect at this endearing marionette theatre, and it remains a highlight of any visit to Brussels. Shows are aimed at adults, but kids love them too. Discounted tickets for children and concession holders are available for €7, except on Friday and Saturday nights. The attached bar opens from noon to midnight.

Théâtre National
By virtue of being a bilingual city, the Belgian capital has not one but two national theatres. This spanking-new glass-fronted theatre is the Francophone counterpart of the Flemish Koninklijke Vlaamse Schouwburg.
