Description
Join this unique tour of Brussels' European Quarter , an area where international politics coexists with the city's history, architecture, and everyday life. We'll begin at the iconic equestrian statue of Albert I on the Mont des Arts, an ideal starting point for observing Brussels' urban and cultural evolution.
Discover the heart of Europe like never before. On this tour, we'll take you to the places where decisions that impact millions of citizens are actually made: the European Parliament , the Hemicycle building, and other emblematic spaces of European power. With clear and entertaining explanations, you'll understand how the European institutions work... without needing to be a political expert!
But this isn't just a tour of Europe. We'll also explore the more international and authentic side of the European Quarter: embassies, consulates, urban art, striking architecture, and corners steeped in local history that bring one of Brussels' most dynamic and multicultural districts to life.
This tour is, above all, an invitation to understand why Brussels is today the capital of the European Union. Through its streets, monuments, and contrasts, you'll discover how this city became the political epicenter of a continent... and why it remains key to Europe's future.
