St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral (Cathedrale St-Michel et Ste-Gudule)
This will be the meeting point where your guide will wait for you. Standing on a hill, the twin towers in the Brabant Gothic style are visible from many points of the city. The cathedral is dedicated to the two patron saints of Brussels and has undergone various changes and expansions in history starting from the first church before the first millennium. Inside noteworthy are the beautiful wooden baroque pulpit and the stained glass windows of the sixteenth century side chapels.
Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert
Initiated by the architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaer, the spectacular Galeries Royales project took shape in the 1830's. The works, begun in 1846, were almost completed in time for the official opening on 20 June 1847. The gallery included shops, auditoriums, cafés, restaurants and apartments. The place to be seen for the fashionable, right away, the Royal Galleries of Saint Hubert drew a wide audience, attracted by its luxury brands, elegant cafés and cultural spaces

5.00Little did we know there was a museum located underground near the Waterloo Monument. The museum was flawless with how it's set up. A lot is set up digitally and was very impressive. You can use your phone for a self guided tour. There is a 4D movie around 30 minutes that went into detail before and during the battle. The panorama was incredibly drawn in a 360 degree Viewpoint of the battle. Followed by 250 stairs up to the top of the Waterloo Memorial of the Lion. The gift shop on the way out was expensive and overpriced unfortunately, but most gift shops are to lure tourists in. Super cool to have visited a huge turning point in the world's history.
