Essential Brussels Free Tour
♡ Save


Experience the heart of Brussels on our free walking tour! From the stunning Grand Place and Royal Galleries to the iconic Manneken Pis, discover the city's true history and hidden charm with a local guide.
We will start our tour in the most recognized and important monument of the city: the Grand Place. There is no visitor who is not impressed by the beauty of the most essential square in the city. A strategic center since medieval times for the people of Brussels, it remains the heart of their city.
We will also see symbols of the city, such as the Manneken Pis or the Jeanneken Pis, the little children who pee in the streets of the city, and that are so significant that the child, for example, has his own wardrobe or his own musical band.
Of course, we will see emblematic and monumental monuments of the city, such as the Royal Galleries, the Brussels Stock Exchange, both buildings from the 19th century, or the Cathedral of San Miguel y Gúdula, which will impress us with its resemblance to another cathedral of a nearby town.
We will conclude our tour of the most monumental Brussels at one of the city's most photographed locations, the Mount of Arts, offering a spectacular panoramic view of Brussels. And we hope that after our tour, you can go have a beer at any of its hundreds of breweries or taste some chocolates or chips.
