하이라이트

Beyond the chocolate and waffles, there’s a more profound and darker side to Belgium. Join me as we explore Belgium's colonial history and its lasting impact on both Belgium and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This tour engages with the landmarks, monuments, and public spaces that evoke Belgium's - often violent - colonial past. As we walk through the city, we'll visit key sites like the Monument to Belgian Pioneers in the Congo, and Leopold II's statue, discussing the legacies of Belgian rule and the exploitation along with it. You’ll gain insight into how these historical events continue to shape Belgium's identity, as well as the effects still felt in the DRC today. Through this tour, we’ll not only revisit the past but also delve into present-day conversations around decolonization, reparations and social justice.

About Brussels

Brussels, Belgium's capital and a seat of European institutions, pairs a gilded Grand-Place with comic-strip murals, Art Nouveau houses and waffle stalls.

The Grand-Place is the centre of old Brussels, a cobbled square ringed by gilded guildhalls and the Gothic town hall, whose spire rises over everything. A few streets away, the small bronze Manneken Pis draws a crowd. On the hill above, the Royal Palace and the Mont des Arts gardens look down on the lower town, while the Atomium, a giant model of an iron crystal built for the 1958 World Fair, stands on the northern edge.

Top-ranked sights in Brussels: Grand-Place (Grote Markt), Manneken Pis, Royal Galleries of Saint Hubert (Les Galeries St-Hubert).
