Belgium · 3-HOUR EXPERIENCES
This is the shortlist you would send a friend flying in on Friday: 5 3-hour experiences worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the thing to know before you commit.
Spend three hours with a local Spanish, English, or French-speaking guide tracing Brussels Art Nouveau from the Grand-Place to the Victor Horta Museum. See Hotel Tassel, Hotel Otlet, Paul Hankar’s houses, and more. The buildings are viewed from outside, so reserve museum admission separately.
“Wonderful. Guide was very knowledgeable Really enjoyed the tour”
Start beside Antwerp Central Station and ride about 13 kilometers through Zurenborg, Zuid, the old port, Grote Markt, and Park Spoor Noord. Local guides such as Jona, Nicolas, and Frithjof share city stories, answer questions, and can adjust the ride to the group.
“Fritjof our guide was extremely passionate about his city and we thoroughly enjoyed him sharing his knowledge and how considerate, knowledgeable and friendly he was. Great way to see some of the city and a good start to the day too. Certainly recommend.”
Meet your guide at a central hotel or the Grand Place Tourist Office for a private three-hour walk through Brussels. See the Grand Place, Saint Hubertus galleries, Manneken Pis, cathedral, Royal Palace, Warande Park, Sablon, and plenty of chocolate shops. Guides speak English, Spanish, Dutch, German, or Italian.
“War eine ausgezeichnete Führung. Etwas vom besten was ich bisher gebucht habe!”
Meet your private guide at Antwerp’s Brabo Fountain for a three-hour walk through the old center. You’ll see Grote Markt, the cathedral, Vlaeykensgang, Meir, Rubens House, and Central Station, with tours in Dutch, English, French, or German.
“Unser Guide, Luc, hat eine klasse Stadtführung mit uns gemacht. Er hat anfangs sein Programm mit uns besprochen, viele Vorschläge und dabei all unsere Wünsche berücksichtigt. Wir durften viel über die tolle Stadt Antwerpen erfahren. Es hat viel Spaß gemacht, Antwerpen auf diese Weise zu erkunden. Wir fühlten uns bestens aufgehoben. Vielen Dank!”
You and your private group follow a puzzle booklet through central Brussels, stopping at Grand Place, Manneken Pis, and Galerie de la Reine while visiting several bars for Belgian beer. It is self-guided, offered in English, and runs about three hours.
“Fun way to spend the day in Brussels. We took the Eurostar from London for the day and this tour gave us a reason to explore the city more and learn about the history. Plus we had some great beers along the way.”
A bench, a boat, a bar or a battlefield.
