Art Nouveau facades, chocolate ateliers, and European crossroads
Explore Brussels with Wexplo, an AI audio guide that narrates the ornate Grand Place, the surrealist heritage of Magritte, and the Art Nouveau masterpieces of Victor Horta. Brussels serves as the unofficial capital of Europe, but its charm lies in the quirky, chocolate-scented neighborhoods beyond the EU quarter.

Highlights
Why it works here
Brussels hides its best treasures behind unassuming facades — Art Nouveau townhouses, comic strip murals on building walls, and chocolate shops in medieval cellars. Wexplo points them out as you walk, revealing a city far more interesting than its bureaucratic reputation suggests.
April to June or September for mild walking weather. December brings excellent Christmas markets.

Compact center — everything on foot
Follow the Comic Strip Route through the city center. Over 50 building-sized murals of Belgian comic characters decorate the walls, and Wexplo tells you about each artist and character as you pass — from Tintin to the Smurfs.
