This is a half day tour to discover Brussels. Not only the highlights, but also the hidden gems of the city. Along more than thousand years of history, Brussels has been a place of cultural exchange, but also of wars. The history of Brussels includes figures such as Louis XIV of France, the writer Victor Hugo, the philosopher and economist Karl Marx, and many others. A vibrant city that is not only the capital of the European Union but also of NATO. We'll learn about all of this on this tour, always with a touch of humor. One advice: never ever say "French fries" in Belgium. Belgian people get angry when they hear that. They believe they were the first frying potatoes. I will explain you why...
Highlights of the itinerary are: · The spectacular Grand-Place · The stories about the statue Everard 't Serclaes (arguably the most touched statue in the world) · The Manneken piss (the statue of the boy peeing) and the Jeanneke Pis (the statue of the girl peeing). Equal opportunity! · The Royal Gallery of St. Hubert · The Stock Exchange building (inside) · The Saint Gery market (inside) And depending on your interests, we can visit: · The impressive city views from the balcony of the new city hall · The picturesque Saint Catherine Square. · The Atomium: an impressive construction made of nine glass and stainless steel spheres of 18-metre-diameter (59 ft). It was built for the Brussels World's Fair of 1958. To get to the Atomium, we use the subway. · The amazing views of Mont des Arts · The lovely Notre Dame du Sablon, a small but delightful Gothic church in Brussels. · The best place to buy some chocolate and to taste Belgium chocolate. · Good places to enjoy a waffle or the Belgium fries
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
If you want to go to the Atomium, we use the subway. Tickets for the subway are not included, but I arrange everything for you.
