Near the Grand-Place, the Place de la Vieille Halle aux Blés symbolically marks this tour : this square is the home base of the International Foundation Jacques Brel.
Next, meeting at the Saint-Jacques neighbourhood with its heteroclite atmosphere. Here you'll find the famous Manneken pis and walls decorated with comic book fragments.
Diversity is the best word to describe the public of the Saint-Géry area, historical cradle of the city. Meeting point of the capital's youth.
In the rue Dansaert, young stylists set the trend. Hip restaurants, shops and jewellers complete this magical scenery.
Don't forget to explore Brussel's ancient port with the Sainte-Catherine church.
Back in the rue Dansaert, visit the Jijé Museum and its brewery.
The Belle-Vue brewery will end your tour.
