In Brussels’s Cinquantenaire Palace, Autoworld brings Belgian and international motoring history together. Its collection ranges from early vehicles to contemporary supercars, with permanent displays alongside changing exhibitions. Useful when companions favour different brands.

Cross-brand breadth puts it above BMW. Beaulieu takes eighth for combining motoring with a wider day out. Start with the permanent collection, then check which temporary show is running; an exciting poster is an extra reason to visit, not proof that its cars remain there indefinitely.
