The Collegial Church of Saint Peter and Saint Guido is located in the municipality's historical centre, on the northern side of the Place de la Vaillance/Dapperheidsplein, its main square.
It contains the grave of the 11th century saint Guy of Anderlecht.
Its Romanesque crypt dates from the 10th century and is one of the oldest in Belgium.
Most of the church, however, dates from 1350 and later, with most of the currently visible architecture representing the Ogee style (15th–16th centuries).
Construction of the tower started in 1517 but stopped with the square part up to the balcony, and was not completed until 1898.

Right next to the church, the old beguinage is home to a local historical museum.

Erasmus House, built in 1458, and its medicinal and philosophical gardens can be visited nearby.

The National Museum of the Resistance, which traces the history of the Belgian resistance and German occupation of Belgium during World War II
The Museum of China – Scheut, which houses documents and pieces brought back to Europe by the congregation of Scheut's missionaries, including a 15th-century bronze Buddha
The Maurice Carême Museum, in the Maison blanche where the Belgian poet lived and wrote
The Luizenmolen, a replica of an old windmill which once stood on the site
Anderlecht is the location of the Cureghem Cellars (French: Caves de Cureghem, Dutch: Kelders van Kuregem), a subterranean complex of handmade brick caves with Romanesque vaults, pillars, and arches, originally the site of a cattle market covered by a forged-iron roof construction in the 1890s.
The cellars were simply a foundation for the upper structure until the 1930s, after which the city council decided to make better use of them.
It proved more profitable to grow mushrooms in the dark and damp underground spaces for local consumption.
It fell into disuse as a cattle market but, in 1984, the hall officially got listed as a Belgian monument.
Due to its characteristic architecture and unique layout it was refurbished and transformed by a private company, Abattoir SA.
Since 1992, it serves as an attractive and functional event site for various private, corporate or public occasions and events.
One of these was the anatomic exposition Body Worlds (Körperwelten) by Dr. Gunther Von Hagens which ran in the cellars between 2008 and 2009 and attracted over 500,000 visitors.

Anderlecht also houses the Cantillon Brewery, a gueuze museum established in an actual working brewery.

The Museum of Medicine, located on the Erasmus campus of the Université libre de Bruxelles
The Jean-Claude Van Damme statue located on Boulevard Sylvain Dupuis/Sylvain Dupuislaan, near the Westland Shopping Center
