Touring Route Planner

From the Grand-Place, a lively alleyway takes you to the Galeries Saint-Hubert and its discovery tour 'Brussels on Stage'. On the other side of the Grand-Place you'll want to pay a visit to the mischievous Manneken-Pis. Then head down towards the Stock Exchange and make acquaintance with its two Belle Epoque taverns, the Falstaff and the Cirio. Passing in front of the Théâtre de la Monnaie, you will find yourself at the beginning of Rue Neuve, the most bustling of Brussels' shopping streets. Then, in search of a little serenity and grandeur, cross Place des Martyrs and go up towards the Cathedral of Saints Michel and Gudule. In the course of this walk, you'll often be tempted to push open the door of an old bar to compare the original flavours of the regional gueuze, kriek or faro beers.
