Follow this evening walk through Brussels as squares, theatres, and a playful artwork reveal different sides of the city after dark. You will move from the grand setting of a central square to performance spaces and smaller urban places, with each stop offering a new mood. Take your time, look closely at the changing scale and character of the squares, and let the theatre stops give the route a sense of occasion. It is a rewarding way to experience Brussels through its public spaces and evening culture.
