Brussels, an introduction

They say Brussels is boring. I say it's one of the best cities you didn't think you'd visit! I fell in love with it when I moved here from London almost fifteen years ago. I have proudly succeeded in changing people's mind about Brussels ever since. Many I've met and guided over the years told me the city has become one of their favorites. We are in the middle of Europe, in a country squeezed between the great nations of the old continent. Brussels summarizes Europe at large. Think of a time capsule you open and tells you the story of what surrounds it, its past and present. I am happy to share that with you while we walk around in the city centre and beyond. As I culture journalist, I am interested in what slips through the cracks: I believe the most important sites in Brussels need to be seen next to what is lesser known. During the tour you should expect to hear forgotten anecdotes next to the main history of the city.

This is your introductory Brussels tour, where we visit the must sees. If you want to dive deeper, with more unique experiences such as luxury tastings and in depth Art and Architecture history (think Art Nouveau and Magritte), do check my other tours. Every 3-hour tour in Brussels will include the highlights of the city such as the Manneken Pis, the central square, the cathedral, and the royal square, and Sablon. Depending on how much time we have available, we can extend the tour to Atomium, the European quarter, the Royal Palace in Laeken, the Cinquantenaire Park, and more.
