What To Expect

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.
