Overview
Whatever the Swiss might contend, Belgian chocolates are indubitably the finest in the world, and they’re so lethally addictive that they ought to be sold with a government health warning.
This walking tour of Brussels begins with a master class taught by a chocolatier, who schools you in the art of making orangettes, pralines, and decorative Easter eggs. Make your own delicious chocolates, which you can take home.
Explore the marvelously preserved buildings in the Grand’Place, and peek in the windows of the antique shops in Sablon.
Walk along a boulevard lined with decadent chocolate shops, and listen to the quavering melodies of street musicians in Ilot Sacre.
Itinerary
Please make your way to Grand Place in front of the Godiva shop to begin this Brussels Walking Tour and Chocolate Workshop. You will be accompanied by a multilingual guide.
Enroll in an entertaining workshop headed by a master chocolatier, where you’ll learn the preparation secrets behind orangettes, pralines, and Easter eggs. During the workshop, you will make your own chocolates and get them wrapped at the end of the tour.

Take a walk around the Grand Place, the heart of the old city—which is surrounded by guild houses and the magnificent Town Hall.
See the mischievous bronze boy of Manneken-Pis, one of Europe’s most famous fountain sculptures, and Brussels’ oldest citizen.
The square of the Sablon is filled with antique shops and the Royal Galleries, which is the seat of the city’s oldest chocolate shop, Neuhaus.
