Discover the unexpected treasures that lie right beneath your feet in Brussels! This tour is all about exploring the sidewalks and their history, distinguishing between historic cobblestones and different types of street paving, and admiring the beautiful mosaics that line our streets. That’s what this tour offers—and it will also give you a deeper understanding of the city’s development and its built environment. After all, examining the materials that pave Brussels’ streets and sidewalks means reflecting on decades of urban planning decisions.
Designed to inspire both wonder and frustration at the remnants of the past and their renovations—sometimes successful, sometimes clumsy—this tour will take participants on a journey through various iconic locations along the inner ring: from Brussels Park to the Sainte-Catherine neighborhood, passing through the Marolles. Make sure your shoes are in good shape!
