Tourist in his country… It would be almost perfect as the title of a song or a novel. But that will be the reality of many Belgians this summer 2020. In order to enable them to use their capital, the promotion of tourism is Visit.brussels invites us to discover the heart of Europe in an original, unexpected way with inexperienced eyes. A beautiful experience to which you invite… Brussels itself! In fact, it is the lovers of their city who equip these special excursions and share their secret with you. We have selected five. It is up to you to choose them or not to vote for them and make them all.

1. GESCHMACK AND FESTIVE TRAVEL: THE SLAB

If you visit Brussels or just live, you can’t choose between several restaurants that can end up being disappointed. The Collective The Dalle, consisting of real Brusselsians, whose favorites you will discover, offers you a walk in the city of about two hours. You will go through four different addresses for four dishes to enjoy (3 savoury – 1 sweet). The departure is organised from Poelaert Square.

TheUrban Research and Action Workshop (Arau) believes that all Brussels residents “must be able to analyse and act on the future of their city”. In this sense, they offer summer walks in many parts of the capital. All have names that make you want to wander around: “the secrets of Ambiorix Square”, “the street of Cubism in Koekelberg”, “the roundabout of the star on the Tonneau”, “how to save the industrial heritage” … This is a new cycle of short evening visits to make the most of summer
Brussels.
