Join Brussels’ first European Union-themed free walking tour, where an EU insider and comedian will walk you behind the scenes of the European District. With the right combination of history, political insight, and humor, you will learn how the European Union works (and how it really works).
You pay what you wish at the end of the tour. All you need to pay now is Viator's booking fee.
As the de facto capital of the EU, Brussels is where many of the policies that affect over 500 million European citizens are decided. Yet, the European Quarter remains a relatively unexplored part of Brussels. This tour was born to change that. Walk with a former EU insider and professional comedian through stately parks, ample boulevards, and imposing official buildings and learn about the history of the European Union, the roles of its main institutions, and the behind-the-scenes work of bureaucrats, journalists, and lobbyists.
