While vacationing in Brussels, let these fun things to do make you forget all about the headaches associated with adulthood. For those who hate typical tourist attractions, Brussels offers plenty of alternatives. Brussels is a walking city, and there are many secrets to uncover. Go for a stroll with the Brukselbinnenstebuiten (Brussels-inside-out) people, who will guide you through different neighborhoods in central Brussels from June to October. Along unknown squares and small passages you learn not only about Brussels' history, but also encounter the city's less salubrious parts.
Join the Brussels Chocolate Walking Tour & Workshop. You'll pound the pavement in Brussels on a four-hour guided walking tour with a twist as you following the trail of Brussels' top chocolate shops. Your knowledgeable local guide will point out the major sights and explain the history of Brussels and why it's famous for mouthwatering chocolate. You will enjoy free samples and tastings of delectable Belgian chocolates and learn to make sweet Belgian treats in a workshop with a master chocolatier.
For something really out of the ordinary, visit the Belgian Comic Strip Center. As you'll find out, Belgians are crazy for cartoons. Grown-ups will love this place as much as kids do. Called the CéBéBéDé for short, the center is dedicated to comic strips and takes a lofty view of what it calls "the Ninth Art". The Comic Strip Center is housed in a restored art nouveau department store from 1903. The building is an attraction in itself. You'll have the time of your life at these fun-filled Brussels' attractions.
