Explore Brussels on a self-guided walk that skips the lace and waffles to find the strange architectural contrasts and social stories hidden in plain sight. You will follow Marcel, an insider who treats these streets like his living room, into the alleys where the city's soul actually lives. Look for the stray dogs, the comic book ink, and the old towers that refuse to be knocked down. By the time you reach the rooftop view, the patchwork of zinc and gold will finally make sense.
