Overview

Not only the capital of Belgium and the County of Flanders, the unassuming Brussels is also the administrative centre of the European Union! Needless to say, the historically and politically strategic city boasts a wealth of historical, architectural, and cultural legacy that can overwhelm any first-time visitor. Therefore, the first thing you need to capture most of the immense magnificence of the charming Brussels is an ideal tour that covers all the charms that must not be missed, including the Royal Palace of Brussels and its amazing blend of artistic brilliance and royal splendour, Grand Square - a familiar name in lists of the most beautiful town squares in the world - which also houses one of the most gorgeous town halls worldwide, and the extravagant Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert - the first shopping centre in all Europe.

Activity itinerary

Church of Our Lady of Victories at the Sablon
  • 20m
Start the tour with the Church of Our Lady of Victories (Sablon Church) and its mysterious legend which started the historical procession and medieval festival Ommegang, attracting thousands of local and international attendants. The stunning 15th-century church which kept the image of the Virgin Mary which is paraded around the street every July is a testament to Brussels' medieval past and its enduring faith.
Royal Palace of Brussels (Pass by)
The next destination is the Royal Palace of Brussels, whose façade is a half bigger than that of Buckingham Palace considering the same splendid neoclassical style. Surrounded by a well-manicured garden and iron-wrought fence, the Belgian official setting of royal formalities looks like a protected precious pearl in the heart of Brussels.
Mount of the Arts
  • 20m
Then, stop by the Mount of the Arts, ideally located between the Royal Quarter in the upper part of the city and the lower part housing the city’s trade centre. The landscaped garden perfectly embraces the notable architecture of the Royal Library of Belgium and the National Archives of Belgium, but the highlight of all is the terrific views of the soaring Gothic tower of the Town Hall from here.
Brussels Town Hall
  • 25m
Continue to marvel at the flamboyant Gothic façade of Brussels Town Hall in all its glory: accurate proportions, ornate sculptural details, and its magnificent tower topped by the statue of the city's patron. Its splendour is elevated by the location on the Grand Square, one of the most beautiful squares worldwide.
Museum of the City of Brussels (Musee de la Ville de Bruxelles)
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Also dominating the square and adding to its magnificence is Brussels City Museum. More sober in style, its Neo-Gothic exterior gives tough competition to the opposite Town Hall. This is no surprise because its 16th-century owner was the Emperor Charles V of Spain, whose statue sits in the central tower welcoming visitors to marvel at the rich heritage of his glorious reign.
Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert
  • 25m
Next, browse through the 19th-century Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert, one of Europe’s most beautiful and oldest shopping centres. Walking past exquisite window displays of jewellers, upscale brands, and exclusive boutiques feels like appreciating an art gallery as its name suggests.
St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral (Cathedrale St-Michel et Ste-Gudule)
  • 20m
Save the best for the last: St Michael and St Gudula Cathedral, the most emblematic religious monument in Brussels. Similar in style to the Sablon church, the cathedral is even more mesmerising inside out; so much so that the Neo-Gothic gem is not only the city’s religious hub but a beacon of beauty and history that embodies the essence of Brussels.
