Brussels Highlights Free Tour
♡ Save
Uncover Brussels' hidden secrets on a 90-minute walking tour! Explore the iconic Grand Place, meet the famous Manneken Pis, and experience the city's dual soul through the elegant Saint Hubert Galleries.
During our walk through the Grand Place, you'll discover how Brussels came into existence and how the city relates to Europe and the world, as well as how the magnificent 17th-century guild houses were created. We'll take a close look at a few of them and hunt for fine details. Along the way, we'll meet a few notorious residents from the past.
We’ll step briefly away from the Grand Place and stroll to the nearby Saint-Hubert Galleries, where 'the bourgeois' spirit of Brussels comes alive. Then we head back to the Grand Place and pause at the dying hero ’t Serclaes and the countless visitors who touch his bronze sculpture. Finally, we end at the feet of Manneken Pis and put our experiences into perspective with a wink.
