In recent years, the European Union has acquired great importance in the political life of its member states; However, what is its operation? Who participates in it? Not only that, before the European Union, what was the role of Belgium among the other nations? What was the role of Belgium in the colonization of the African continent?

Starting from the GARE CENTRALE at 11:00, we will embark on a journey that will take us to discover the most controversial secrets of Belgium as well as the role that Brussels plays in the globalized world: politicians, lobbyists, officials ... they are part of the landscape urban of the new Brussels. ⭐️ ⭐️What will we see? ⭐️⭐️ ▪ Urban and urban development ▪ Traces of the colonization of the Congo and Central Africa ▪ The best French fries in Brussels ▪ The European Parliament and Luxembourg Square ▪ The European Commission, center of the executive power of the Union ▪ Park of the fiftieth anniversary (or Cinquantenaire Park) with its impressive arch ▪ Much more!

Decidimos repetir con Lorena y tomar el tour de la union europea con ella. Otra vez fue una experiencia muy positiva, aprendimos mucho sobre el funcionamiento de las instituciones sin que en ningún momento fuera aburrido :)
