Looking for original things to do in Brussels during your city trip? The Comic Strip Trail is one of the city’s most creative and colourful attractions. As the undisputed capital of the comic strip, Brussels celebrates the ninth art not only in museums and galleries, but also directly in its streets.
Since 1991, large comic-inspired murals have appeared across the city, transforming Brussels into an open-air gallery. As you walk from one neighbourhood to another, you may suddenly come across Tintin, Blake and Mortimer, Cubitus, Billy and Buddy, Corto Maltese and many other beloved characters. In total, more than 80 murals invite visitors to discover Brussels in a playful and distinctly local way.
From Urban Yard Hotel, the city opens up as a mix of culture, humour and visual surprises. The Comic Strip Trail is a perfect way to experience Brussels beyond the usual landmarks while exploring its rich artistic identity.
