This family-friendly guided walk of 1.5 km offers a fresh visual experience of the historic centre. Equipped with pocket mirrors, participants are invited to look up at the vertical “landscape markers” of the Îlot Sacré and the Grand-Place. The guided route offers an original reading of the built landscape, revealing architectural details, cornices and sgraffiti that often go unnoticed from street level.
By shifting the gaze through the mirror, families explore vertical perspectives and the density of Brussels heritage without leaving the pavement. The activity helps decode the richness of façades and old signs, turning the city into an optical playground. A playful, unexpected and accessible way to raise awareness of the verticality of urban heritage and the beauty hidden at the top of buildings.
