2.Brussels Tootbus Discovery Hop On Hop Off Bus and walking tours

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 336 reviews · 1 hour (approx.)

Use a 24, 48, or 72-hour Tootbus pass to reach Brussels highlights from Central Station and Grand-Place to the European Quarter and Atomium. You get multilingual audio, a children’s guide, free Wi-Fi, and Tootwalk audio walks through the app. The service is flexible, but traffic, unclear stops, and uneven app tracking can affect your day.

“The bus comes only every 30 mins. Which really take so much of your time to visit other places. On top of that you are standing longer waiting for the bus. Good thing I have a voucher so I only paid $19+ otherwise, it’s not worth it but it’s the only way too to get around.”
