Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula Brussels

The Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula is the most important Catholic church in Brussels and the setting for Belgium's major religious ceremonies and royal weddings. Built between the 13th and 16th centuries, it combines Late Gothic architecture with beautiful stained-glass windows from the 16th and 17th centuries. Beneath the church lie the remains of the older Romanesque church from the 11th century.

The cathedral is largely wheelchair-accessible. A ramp leads up to the main entrance, and an alternative side entrance also offers step-free access. Inside, most spaces are on one level and the floor is even. The choir sits a few steps higher but is easy to see from the nave. The Romanesque crypt is not accessible by wheelchair. Adapted toilets can be found in the visitor centre on the side aisle.

The square in front of the cathedral on Treurenberg slopes gently down towards the city centre, but is well-paved. Reduced-mobility parking spaces are available at the Albertina and Central Station car parks, both within walking distance and with lifts. The Park metro stop and Brussels Central Station are also fully accessible. Entry to the cathedral is free; a small contribution is requested for the treasury and crypt.
