INCLUSIVE TOUR: HISTORIC DISTRICT-PENTAGON

Friday 28 February 2025

On 31 January 2025, AMT Concept conducted a test guided tour as part of a series of tourist routes accessible for all, within the framework of a study that invites people to explore Brussels in a different way.

On foot and outdoors, the ‘accessible tourist circuit for all’ project aims to develop a tourist walk in the form of a semi-guided tour of historical and/or cultural sites.
Accessible and inclusive, the circuit is intended for all audiences, including people with specific needs, as part of sustainable tourism in the Brussels-Capital Region, particularly in the Pentagon.

The ‘Historic District – Pentagon’ tour offers a 1.9 km route lasting 2 hours and 8 minutes.
It includes 9 stops, or 10 after taking into account observations made in the field.

  1. The Palace of Justice and its panorama from Place Poelaert
  2. The Great Synagogue of Brussels
  3. The Church of Our Lady of Victory in the Sablon district and its square + 3b. Rue des Six Jeunes Hommes
