Description

Discover the most beautiful buildings of the Belle Époque on a walking tour with a local guide. Marvel at the splendid houses of the the 1900 period by the most talented Art nouveau architects!
Discover the most beautiful buildings of the ephemeral fairytale of the Belle Époque on a guided walking tour. Explore the splendid creations of the famous architect Victor Horta, as well as other magnificent houses by lesser-known but equally talented architects.

Meet your guide, Eric, who knows his city like the back of his hand, and set off to the historic center of Brussels, which is packed with world-famous treasures. Then, head to lesser-known districts to discover hidden gems that the vast majority of tourists are unaware of.

Travel through Etterbeek, Schaerbeek, Ixelles, and St Gilles, home to some of the most beautiful Art Nouveau buildings. Marvel at the marvellous houses, privileged witnesses to a time when everything was possible, and when the creativity and ingenuity of Art Nouveau architects knew no bounds.

Discover some of these jewels, some unchanged since they were built, others magnificently renovated, and still others bearing the charm of over a century of existence. But all are privileged witnesses to a wonderful era.

If you wish, the walk can include a meal (not included) in a period Art Nouveau restaurant, with its surprising and moving décor, almost unchanged for over a century.
