The Original Free Tour of Brussels

From the gold-leafed splendor of the Grand Place to the rebellious ink of the city’s famous comic strip murals, Brussels’ story stretches from medieval trade guilds to its role as the diplomatic heart of Europe. But the real magic? It’s waiting for you in the quirky legends of the Manneken Pis and the elegant glass ceilings of the Royal Galleries.

On this 2-hour tour, step into the center of a city that doesn't take itself too seriously and uncover the stories, surrealism and royal scandals that shaped the Belgian capital.

More than just a history tour, this experience is the perfect way to get your bearings in Brussels. By the end, you’ll not only understand how the city balances medieval roots with modern politics, you’ll know where to find the most authentic waffles, how to navigate the local beer list like a pro and how to make the most of your time like a local.
