Comic Strip Walk Tour

With Comic Strip Walk , the guides are given a "carte blanche", meaning they have the freedom to create a unique, off-the-beaten-path comic walk every time ! While there are a few classic starting points (like Grand-Place, Central Station, and the Comic Art Museum), where the tour begins can vary depending on your group’s vibe, the weather, or just the guide’s mood. It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure... but with more comic art !

Expect to visit 7-10 vibrant comic walls during your 2.5-hour tour, with tons of fun facts and insider stories along the way. Most of the murals are clustered around the Grand-Place and Central Station, so you’ll get to see some of the best of Brussels with a comic twist ! It’s not your typical city tour , it’s a creative, quirky, and super fun way to explore the heart of Brussels. And don’t worry, whether you’re a comic book nerd or a first-time visitor, there’s something for everyone on this adventure!
