Free Tour: The Spanish Footprint in Brussels 🇪🇸

Chocolates, beers, waffles… These are some of the first things that might come to mind when thinking of Brussels. Others might think of the Grande Place, the European Union or NATO, or perhaps the idea is simply to explore and be amazed.

However, Brussels offers much more than its delicious cuisine and scenic streets. In fact, it may be more family-friendly than you might think.

For those who enjoy history, and in particular the history of Spain , this tour offers a unique perspective.

The Spanish legacy and the Hispanic presence in Brussels are little known, but they have left a deep mark on the city. Along the tour, not only will some of the most emblematic places be visited, but the Spanish influence that has marked the region since the times of the Tercios and the Duke of Alba will also be explored.

During the tour, you will follow in the footsteps of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, discover corners with a fascinating Spanish past and explore the Spanish influence on the architecture, culture and history of the city. The route ends at the impressive Mont des Arts, offering an unforgettable panoramic view of Brussels.
