The tour will begin at the majestic Grand-Place, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by Gothic guild houses and home to the imposing medieval Town Hall.
Next, we’ll walk to the statue of Everard 'T Serclaes, a 14th-century local hero, before admiring the Tintin mural, an icon of Belgian comics. We’ll also visit the Manneken Pis, the famous statue of the little boy peeing.
We’ll head up to the Sablon neighborhood to visit the Église Notre-Dame des Victoires au Sablon, a gem of Brabantine Gothic, and the ornamental gardens of Place du Petit Sablon with its 48 statues of medieval guilds.
We’ll continue on to Mont des Arts, a panoramic viewpoint over the historic center where the Carillon Clock plays traditional melodies each hour.
We’ll finish at the historic Galeries Royales Saint Hubert, the first covered shopping arcades in Europe (1847), with their elegant boutiques, Art Nouveau cafés, and artisan chocolatiers.

What to do in Brussels?
A free walking tour is a great way to start. Guides will take you through the historic center, tell you stories about the city, and help you get oriented for the rest of your visit. There are tours of the center, the European Quarter, and even night tours about mysteries.
The Cinquantenaire Park is huge — 30 hectares where people picnic, play sports, and relax. It features an impressive triumphal arch and three museums inside: the Army Museum, Autoworld (classic cars), and the Art & History Museum.
If you like comics, Brussels is your city. There are more than 60 murals painted on façades featuring Tintin, Lucky Luke, the Smurfs, and other characters. It’s like an open-air museum. There’s also the Comic Book Museum if you want to explore further.
Mont des Arts offers the best views of the city, especially at sunset. It’s free and you can see the Town Hall tower and all of lower Brussels. There are terraced gardens where you can sit and relax.
The Royal Palace opens only in summer, from July 21 to early September. Entry is free, and you can see impressive rooms like the Throne Room or the Mirror Room, whose ceiling is decorated with over a million Thai beetles.
The terraces of the Galeries Saint-Hubert are perfect for dinner or drinks at night. These were the first covered shopping arcades in Europe, and the atmosphere is very elegant. In Brussels Park, there are also open-air concerts in summer.
