Saturday, February 2: by tram to the Sablon Start: 14h, corner Roosevelt / Heger Avenue, ULB campus, reception building H language: English
content of the tour: <Per tram to the Sablon>, with time for a coffee break Tour Description: Brussels is a city with many worlds. During a tram ride to the center of the ULB the guide will talk about the passing city. At the pallais de justice the group will exit the tram for a tour of the Upper Town, a place where nobility, power and high bourgeoisie found a home since the Middle Ages. Remnants of this we can still enjoy today during a stroll through the Egmont Park, while we admire the Sablon church or during a visit of the Palace of Egmont. But the Sablon is about more than the past. Today it is a center of commerce and trade of antiques luxury items. end: 18h30, same place Not included: drinks during the coffee break or tram tickets.
Sunday, February 3: La Cambre, the Ixelles ponds and Flagey language: English Start: 12:15, corner Roosevelt / Heger Avenue, ULB campus, reception building H content of the tour: <Ter Kameren, the ponds and Flagey>, with time for a coffee break Tour Description: A stone's throw from the ULB campus lies the Place Flagey. This lively square, with the Flagey building in Art Deco on the edge, has had a revival since its redesign. People come from all over the city to watch and be watched from the terrace of Café Belga . The road to it is very nice too, along Cambre Abbey, with the idyllic sources of Maelbeek, along the Ixelles ponds, surrounded by beautiful villas and the streets around the Place Flagey, still marked by the Portuguese migration. End: 3:45 p.m., Flagey Not included: drinks during the coffee break.
