Start the tour with the Church of Our Lady of Victories (Sablon Church) and its mysterious legend which started the historical procession and medieval festival Ommegang, attracting thousands of local and international attendants. The stunning 15th-century church which kept the image of the Virgin Mary which is paraded around the street every July is a testament to Brussels' medieval past and its enduring faith. The next destination is the Royal Palace of Brussels, whose façade is a half bigger than that of Buckingham Palace considering the same splendid neoclassical style. Surrounded by a well-manicured garden and iron-wrought fence, the Belgian official setting of royal formalities looks like a protected precious pearl in the heart of Brussels. Then, stop by the Mount of the Arts, ideally located between the Royal Quarter in the upper part of the city and the lower part housing the city’s trade centre. The landscaped garden perfectly embraces the notable architecture of the Royal Library of Belgium and the National Archives of Belgium, but the highlight of all is the terrific views of the soaring Gothic tower of the Town Hall from here. Continue to marvel at the flamboyant Gothic façade of Brussels Town Hall in all its glory: accurate proportions, ornate sculptural details, and its magnificent tower topped by the statue of the city's patron. Its splendor is elevated by the location on the Grand Square, one of the most beautiful squares worldwide. Also dominating the square and adding to its magnificence is Brussels City Museum. More sober in style, its Neo-Gothic exterior gives tough competition to the opposite Town Hall. This is no surprise because its 16th-century owner was the Emperor Charles V of Spain, whose statue sits in the central tower welcoming visitors to marvel at the rich heritage of his glorious reign. Next, browse through the 19th-century Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert, one of Europe’s most beautiful and oldest shopping malls. Walking past exquisite window displays of jewellers, upscale brands, and exclusive boutiques feels like appreciating an art gallery as its name suggests. Save the best for the last: St Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral, the most emblematic religious monument in Brussels. Similar in style to the Sablon church, the cathedral is even more mesmerizing inside out; so much so that the Neo-Gothic gem is not only the city’s religious hub but a beacon of beauty and history that embodies the essence of Brussels.

Your driver will share historical facts, necessary information about the sights, and his personal input to immerse you in the Belgian lifestyle. Start off from the heart of Brussels, the Grand Place, one of the most beautiful squares in Europe that is surrounded by opulent buildings like the Town Hall. King Leopold’s dream of viewing a cultural complex a few meters away from the Royal Palace bore the idea of Mont des Arts where you will marvel at a number of prestigious museums. A rather odd but funny attraction at the same time is the Manneken Pis fountain. Further down, you will have the chance to admire the Église catholique Notre-Dame-du-Sablon and St Michael and St Gudula Cathedral, spectacular Gothic cathedrals of monumental architecture. The latter is one of the most important landmarks in the city and one of the most extraordinary cathedrals in Europe. It features 64 meters tall towers that you can climb every second and fourth Saturday of the month and enjoy a magnificent view. The magnificent Royal Palace of Brussels and the Parc de Bruxelles are not to be missed. Take a moment to relax in the Parc du Cinquantenaire, an impressive U-shaped complex including an arc at its center and a 30-hectare park. For many people, the main reasons for visiting Brussels are related to the European Union. The Council of the European Union and the European Commission headquarters are amongst the highlights of the area. For the last part of your trip, be amazed by a modern rather futuristic building which is considered the symbol of the city, the Atomium. Except for its unique looks, it also offers an escalator to the upper sphere that is the best spot for photographers. At the end of the ride, your friendly driver will drop you off at your accommodation.
