Brussels: a stroll to discover hidden gems

Highlights

• Secret spots not found in guidebooks
• Stories and anecdotes known only to the people of Brussels
• A fascinating tour, with a very attentive guide

Description

Brussels is more than a thousand years old, a city that has experienced all kinds of ups and downs in its long history, but also some exciting moments in its short history. Eric, your guide, was born in Brussels and knows plenty of places, anecdotes and stories that don't appear in any guidebook. You'll discover why people were beheaded in the 16th century, how a river disappeared twice (but left a piece behind), how the sun penetrates a cathedral, how the devil created a saint, how an emperor ennobled a fountain, you'll push open doors or peek through keyholes to discover spectacular hidden facades, a royal bunker, forgotten walls, a palace used as a parking lot, and many other stories and places that don't reveal themselves to everyone! If you're well behaved, your guide will also tell you the little-known story of Brussels' most famous bourgeois, and the true history of Belgian fries! And he'll also tell you where to go for a beer or some good fries, in places that are authentically Brussels. The tour starts from the Central Station, or your hotel, and ends around the Grand Place.
