The experience

The tour starts at a Gothic-Romanesque church dating back to 1134, then moves through the streets to a historical bohemian bar where the surrealist painter René Magritte spent time. You'll walk through a space dedicated to art, stop to see a cartoon character mural, and finish at another mural of a charming cartoon couple. The route is built around street art and galleries rather than monuments, so you're seeing the city through the lens of its contemporary creative community.

Your guide is a local who wants to show you Brussels as they know it: the different cultural and artistic characteristics that make the city unique, and the connection between street-art artists and the galleries and museums that define the scene. You'll hear about both established and emerging artists as you walk, and get a sense of how the city's art world actually works, not just what's famous. The small group size keeps the pace conversational and lets you ask questions as you go.

What’s included
