Description
At the heart of Europe lies Brussels, an international city draped in grandeur, history, and intrigue, where the leaders of the Continent meet. This walking tour traces the city‘s medieval foundations and follows its journey from a wealthy city in the Middle Ages to the largest diplomatic community in the world. Our tour starts at the imposing Royal Palace of Brussels, where you‘ll learn about the Belgian Royal Family and their lineage. You‘ll make your way through the city’s historical centre towards its famous clock, Le Carillon du Mont des Arts, and pass below its thunderous bells. After passing the Black Tower, an ancient structure surrounded by modern buildings, you’ll reach Grand Place, a UNESCO-listed town square surrounded by palaces and ornate guild houses. You‘ll pass through the trendy Sablon neighborhood, lined with cafés and art galleries, en route to our final stop, the Palais du Justice, where you‘ll be able to look back on your journey through medieval Brussels’ long history. Along the way, you‘ll have a chance to: • Learn about the history of the Palace of Coudenberg, which once hosted the most powerful rulers in Europe • Hear about music through the ages at the Musical Instruments Museum • Wander through cobblestone alleys in the city‘s historic centre and discover where an opera performance triggered a revolution • Admire the Royal Palace of Brussels, the former residence of Belgium‘s royal family • Explore traces of the medieval city walls and find the bizarre location of Brussels' former harbor • Giggle at the trickling Mannekin Pis statue, one of Brussels‘ most iconic landmarks and a testament to Belgians‘ quirky sense of humor • Ascend the steps of the imposing Palais du Justice, the city‘s best viewing pointIncludes
