A walk in Brussels
This route aims at guiding you through all the must-see monuments of the Belgian capital. We will start our walk at the Manneken Pis. Cast from bronze, the small statue of a naked boy urinating into a fountain basin is probably one of the most popular landmarks of Brussels. Next, we visit the Grote Markt, an outstanding tourist destination and by far the most memorable monument in the Belgian capital. In this beautiful square we can find some centuries-old bars and restaurants. After that we will reach the Royal Galleries of Saint-Hubert, an excellent example of an indoor shopping gallery from the 19th century with lots of shops and top quality chocolate. Not far away, we will have the chance to see the Cathedral of Saint Michael and Saint Gudula, a monumental architectural with rich history and exceptional stained glass windows. On our way to the famous Magritte Museum, we'll pass through the Brussels park and the Royal Palace, two places where you can find many attractions and monuments to see.
