The Smurfs Mural. A fun stop along the route. Can you spot all the references to Brussels’ heritage on this mural? The Ommegang, chips, the Atomium, the flower carpet, the Meyboom, our favourite little blue heroes pay homage to their roots.

Rue de l'Ecuyer 9

Gaston Mural. Once again, Gaston thinks it’s too nice a day to waste working for his boss, as he leans over the window ledge, playing with his yo-yo. You guessed it: the yo-yo hits a passer-by on the head.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
