Brussels: The Heart of Europe

Brussels, Belgium’s capital, beautifully balances modernity and tradition. It’s a bustling European hub with architectural marvels, thriving art scenes, and historic landmarks.

• Grand Place: The Grand Place, or Grote Markt, is the city's central square and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Surrounded by stunning Gothic and Baroque guild halls, it’s a vibrant area where you can immerse yourself in the heart of Brussels’ architectural beauty. ITO Tours can arrange guided tours, providing historical insights and time to explore the many shops and cafes surrounding this iconic square.

• Atomium: Originally built for the 1958 Brussels World Expo, the Atomium is a unique structure offering panoramic views over the city. With its distinctive, futuristic design, it’s a must-see landmark. Enjoy a tour inside the Atomium, where exhibitions on science, design, and Belgian history await.

• Manneken Pis: This quirky little statue has become a symbol of Brussels. Located just a short walk from the Grand Place, Manneken Pis is surrounded by shops offering souvenirs, chocolates, and traditional Belgian waffles. With ITO Tours, you can also discover other lesser-known statues around the city, like Jeanneke Pis and Zinneke Pis, that add a fun twist to your sightseeing.
