This in-app audio tour invites you to delve into the history of Brussels. Your experience includes admission to the Halle Gate, an impressive medieval fortress that once formed part of the city's defensive walls.
Your exploration begins at this well-preserved medieval gateway before guiding you toward the cultural hub of Mont des Arts. Along the route, you'll discover the lively Marché aux Puces (flea market), the Poelaert lifts offering panoramic city views, and the grand Palace of Justice with its neoclassical façade.
The narrative provides insights into King Leopold II's reign and analyses the architectural features of the Gothic church Notre-Dame des Victoires au Sablon. You'll then wander through the elegant symmetry of Place Royale, a neoclassical square that serves as one of Brussels' most distinguished public spaces.
Your journey culminates at Mont des Arts, where you'll stand beneath the equestrian statue of King Albert I while taking in views of the Royal Palace. From this vantage point, you can also glimpse the Art Deco silhouette of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in the distance.
