http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31153 Attendance at the Apéros varies somewhat according to the location and most importantly what the weather is like, but they can be very popular. Note that if it's raining, it will all be called off ...]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31153 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16095
It's a great cosmopolitan bar, with a very nice atmosphere, it's not too expensive, and it serves lots of good Belgian beers (try my favourite... Faro.) and great food.

Plus it has a nice terrace , so it's perfect for warm days!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16095 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16087 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16087 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16086
It's only €19 for the day and has a huge choice of saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzis and an open air swimming pool.

The catch is, if you want access to the Aquarius area, which has the pool and the best saunas, you have to be naked. There is a swimsuit section for those who prefer to cover their dignity, but it's kind of liberating, and certainly amusing, to hang out in the buff with the Belgians.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16086 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16084
It is an oasis of calm next to the Royal School of Music and you can sit in a small garden listening to superb music.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16084 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16059
The view is truly extrodinary: one of the best in Europe. The museum, I should add is, is also worth seeing and inexpensive.

But if museums are not your thing then don't worry – you don't have to pay for entry to get to the terrace-bar. Just tell reception where you are heading and hop into the elevator.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16059
