Brussels Private Historic Walking Tour
Not only the capital of Belgium and the County of Flanders, the unassuming Brussels is also the administrative center 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 splendor, 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 mall in all Europe.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
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.
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.
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 center. 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.
