Beautiful Brussels

Beautiful Brussels

Grand Place

1000 Brussels, Belgium

August 10, 2019 @ 13:00 (CEST)

Did you know that Brussels is not only the Belgian capital, but also the European capital? Brussels’ name derives from the Old Dutch Broekzele, meaning “marsh” (broek) and “home” (zele) or “home in the marsh”. Curious how this “home in the march” became such a diverse city? If you want to discover this lovely capital, with a Local Guide who lived here during his entire life, then you are in the right place. I would love to shed some light on my lovely city, and show you what’s not in the usual travel books :nerd_face: We’ll walk from the famous Manneken Pis to Brussels’ wonderful Royal Palace – but you’ll probably want to stay in lovely Mont des Arts forever, since it’s such a cool place :wink: Let’s meet around 1.00 PM at the Grand Place. The end of the tour will be around 7.00 PM, I guess. We can expect a pretty sunny Saturday afternoon in August, so I am assuming that by the time our visit ends, we could continue the tour at some cool terrasses, for those who want to join… Here is the schedule: - Grand Place - Manneken & Jeanneke Pis - Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert - Mont des Arts - St Gudula Cathedral, Brussels - Brussels Park - Royal Palace of Brussels The meet-up will be entirely free, i.e., all the places we are visiting are free to entry. Let us share our unique perspective through a new and unique lens – creativity is bae. Let us stay curious about a city that continually has something new to show :earth_africa: Have a great day – I’m already looking forward to meeting you! :innocent:

Hello @GauthMug

Meet Ups are always very nice, because you get in touch with people who have the same passion in person.

While August is some weeks to go, do you join us in Ghent? I think @JanVanHaver would be very happy to have more locals around, when “thousand” of other LG will come in a month … :wink:

Yes @TorM , @GauthMug had already signed up for the event in Ghent.

As for this one: It’s too early for me to be able to say whether I will attend or not (obviously I would love to) as my plans for the summer have not been fixed yet.

Hi @GauthMug ,

Good luck with the event, I’m sure it will be nice! I’d love to visit Brussels. It reminds me of Vienna from that photo. Thanks for sharing!

I wish you all the best for the Meetup @GauthMug but unfortunately I won’t be able to attend as I am not in Belgium this weekend.

Let’s Zoom the Guides!
