Would you like to dive into the rich brewing tradition of the city and bar hop your way through breweries and craft beer bars (where you can also have a boogie, if the mood takes you)? Or have you been dying to experience the city’s techno scene for yourself? See the iconic Atomium. It’s weird and wonderful - exactly why we like it! See this neighbourhood if you want to discover unique bars, Congolese restaurants, and jazz clubs in Saint-Boniface. This is the African Quarter; there’s more to Brussels’ nightlife than you may have imagined. In the European Quarter, you could brush up on your EU knowledge at the Parliamentarian, or simply gawk at the shiny glass buildings and modern highrises that house the EU institutions. We love a surprise, though, so you’ll get to experience a whole neighborhood that you’d never have known existed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Brussels. Our guide, Patrick, was wonderful. His enthusiasm for his beautiful city was contagious and we had a great time. We are not fast walkers and he was very patient and generous with his time. He spent more time with us than we originally booked so that we could have a coffee break and later lunch during our time with him. We saw many of the well known places and several hidden gems that we would never have found without him. All in all, a fantastic day. We highly recommend Patrick and this tour.
