Brussels Politics Tour with a Local Expert: Custom & Private ★★★★★

Summary Description

What you'll do

Begin in the European Quarter, and stroll through the beautiful Cinquantenaire Park and along Montgomery Street, soaking up the atmosphere in the city’s most luxurious area with your knowledgeable Local Host.

Stroll through the picturesque Leopold Park then visit the Parlamentarium, an interactive museum about the EU, how the parliament operates and how its members work towards European integration. 

With a Local Host by your side, you’ll be able to go beyond the shiny glass facades and modern high rises where the EU institutions are housed, getting to know what really goes on behind these closed doors and how living amongst these important sites affects life in the city. 

You may be surprised to learn that a literal stone’s throw from the EU Parliament, squeezed in between government offices and the luxurious boutiques of Avenue Louise is a vibrant quarter of the city which was established by Congolese migrants and named Matongé. Stroll through this buzzing neighbourhood and stop by a local bar where migrants and Europhiles all head for an after work drink! 

Leave behind Luxembourg Square and take the metro to the Atomium, the city’s most iconic symbol, and discover how it’s significance as well as stopping by the Mini Europe Park.
