Brussels Walking Tour Comic Strip

Brussels Comic Book Wall Tour

This guided walking tour explores Brussels’ extensive comic book murals, ideal for art lovers and culture enthusiasts.

Description

Brussels features over 75 comic book frescoes and statues painted on walls by renowned artists, forming one of the world's largest open-air galleries. Most murals replaced old billboards since artists began painting on walls, corners, windows, and ceilings from 1991 onward. These detailed, colorful characters, often created by the original cartoonists, decorate various neighborhoods across the city.

The tour covers famous Belgian and international comic creators and characters. It also explores less frequented areas, offering insight into the local community and everyday life. Learn about the history of the characters, their creators, and the connection between murals and their neighborhoods.

Your guide Eric, a Brussels native passionate about the city, will share unique stories, anecdotes, and local recommendations. After the tour, he can suggest top places for fries, beer, waffles, and chocolates in Brussels.
