Description
Begin your walking tour on the steps of the opera house, where an audience once walked out of a performance to start a revolution. From there, climb the narrow lanes built by guilds to make money in rather than to be admired.
Watch as the street opens, the sky comes in, and you find yourself on the hill where a brand-new country built itself somewhere respectable to be seen. Explore the ambition to be a capital in the street plan, with the two origins meeting along a seam you can cross in five minutes.
Finish under the Congress Column, above the rooftops and off most itineraries, where the constitution and the imported king who signed it are eternalized into the stone. Brussels lies below you, and the whole two hours is visible in one view.
