About this experience
I am a journalist, traveler, and I have a good idea of what people are interested in a new city. In 3 hours, I will help you create your own impression of Brussels and get the best out of it. I will tell you about its history, take you to all the must-see places, and show you where the Belgians escape the tourist hustle and bustle. As a result, you will feel at home in the city and easily decide where to go next after our walk.
They say Brussels carries the status of the most boring city in Europe. Perhaps Brussels has been turned into a 'bore' by politics - the main European institutions are located here: the European Parliament, the European Commission, the Council of the EU. Therefore, it's easy to meet a crowd of 'suits' in the city. And all this gives the impression of vibrant political activity.
But, to be fair, it's not all gloomy! The city center is beautiful at any time of the year. If you are on a business trip or just passing through the city, a 3-hour tour is exactly what you need to get the best out of Brussels and form your own impression of it.
What to expect
Unmissable Brussels Highlights
I will take you to all the must-see places: the Grand-Place square, the Town Hall, the house where Marx and Engels wrote 'Capital'. You will see the crowd pleaser - the Manneken Pis. And also the Jeanneke Pis, which not all travelers know about. Just a short distance from the bar with a selection of 2,000 types of beer, we can even drop by there.
The City's Atmosphere
I will show you the labyrinth of streets with fish restaurants, recommend great places for dinner. I will tell you where the Belgians go to escape the tourist hustle and bustle. You will visit the street where leading Belgian fashion designers have their boutiques, observe how the Flemish community arranges a small part of the city, glance at the Brussels Chinatown, and approach the beautiful building of the former Stock Exchange.
