Why not take the time to (re)discover Tour & Taxis from a whole new angle? Every Wednesday at 5:00 PM, join a guided tour into the fascinating history of this iconic Brussels landmark. An hour suspended in time, between industrial past and cultural rebirth, to enjoy solo, as a couple, or with friends.
A history, a place, a transformation
Led by Korei (FR/NL), set off to uncover the secrets of this former port and customs site, a privileged witness to over a century of Brussels history. From its golden age as a hub of international trade, through years of gradual decline, to its spectacular rebirth as one of the city’s most vibrant districts: the guided tour traces this extraordinary journey, mixing little-known anecdotes with a fresh look at the site’s architecture.
Along the way, discover the Gare Maritime, a true industrial cathedral now reinvented as a lively gathering place, and the Hôtel des Douanes, a majestic reminder of the era when Tour & Taxis was a key crossing point for goods moving across Europe. It’s a unique chance to understand how this once-closed site reinvented itself into a space open to everyone, blending heritage, culture, and lifestyle.
A moment to savour, simply
Whether you’re a long-time Brussels resident or just passing through, this guided tour offers a peaceful moment of discovery, away from the city’s hustle and bustle. The perfect way to wrap up a summer day…
