Stop At: Brussels, Brussels
As you might not know Belgium is not only famous for its waffles, beers and chocolate but also for being the cradle of the 9th Art : comics. Never heard of Tintin, The Smurfs, Lucky Luke, Astérix, ... ? To commemorate the link between Belgium and comics, 50ish murals have been painted throughout Brussels since the 90's.

Don't expect to see all the comics murals (would require all day). It's not a historical tour, others do that better than I could. The point of this experience is to discover a part of Belgian comics culture/history and to show you -through a selection of comics murals- some streets and neighborhoods you probably would not have visited on your own...

This was one of the coolest walking tours I've ever been on! Cedric was an excellent guide! He brought us to many comic book murals and discussed the comics, the artists, the impact on Belgian culture, etc. He brought comics along to use during his discussion and used pictures and video to supplement as well. But he also shared cool architecture, historical sites, political sites and natural sites. So, in no means was it just about comics. It was just a really cool lens to view Brussels through. I highly recommend!!This was an awesome tour! The murals are amazing and we were able to see parts of Brussels away from the touristy area.
