Highlights
GUIDE IN SPANISH.
In our guided tour you will learn what is the real importance of Belgian comics within the international scene, and which are the schools and authors that have made their fame possible. You’ll learn about the “clear line” that’s talked about so much in French-Belgian comics, and you’ll discover many of the murals that have been dedicated to the ninth art in the heart of Belgium.
This tour is designed both for people who do not know anything about comics and those who are more familiar with this art.
As if that weren’t enough, besides the murals, you’ll know Tintin’s house (before he moved into Moulinsart Castle) and the statue hidden in plain sight of The Smurfs. You’ll also discover new places in central Brussels that aren’t included in other guided tours, along with some of the shops where you can buy Belgian comics in your native language.
Come enjoy the national comic with Curiositas Mundus!
