The Centre

The beautiful Grand-Place with its Gothic town hall and Baroque guild houses, the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert with their tempting chocolate shops and, of course, that most famous of Brussels landmark: Manneken Pis. There is also the Bourse building and Boulevard Anspach, where a river, the Zenne, once flowed, as well as the Mont des Arts, offering stunning views over the city.

Laeken

The Heysel Plateau was the site of two universal exhibitions in 1935 and again in 1958. Admire the Brussels Expohalls and the impressive Atomium from close-up. We pass by the Château de Laeken and also visit the beautiful Jardins du Fleuriste. The tour concludes at the fascinating Laeken Cemetery, the final resting place of a number of famous Belgians from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The European Quarter

Brussels has always been a crossroads in Europe. In the 20th century, it became the political heart of the European Union. Many EU institutions are located here: the European Commission, the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament (admission subject to reservation), as is the Cinquantenaire Park with its imposing arcade. In this part of the city, you will also find a stylish selection of Art Nouveau architectural masterpieces.

The Marolles

The Marolles, a working-class neighbourhood was marked over the years by social protest. In the 1930s, the Marolles also became a refuge for thousands of Jewish refugees. Today, the Marolles are more connected with antique shops and galleries, a large flea market and even street art. We explore the unique character of this neighbourhood and its rich history.
