At the indicated time, we will begin this free tour of Brussels in the Grand Place, in front of the Belgian capital's City Hall, considered one of the most beautiful in the world. A few meters from this central place we will see the famous sculpture of the “peeing boy”, the Manneken Pis. We will learn the most surprising anecdotes and curiosities of this small size, who is occasionally dressed in a multitude of suits made to measure. We will pass by the impressive cathedral of San Miguel and Santa Gúdula. We will arrive at the Royal Square, in whose surroundings we will see the facades of the Bozar Cultural Center, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Musical Instruments and the Royal Palace of Brussels, located next to one of the most beautiful parks in the Belgian capital.
