Brussels WW2 Walking Tour: Life in Occupied Brussels

This is the official Occupied Brussels walking tour, created as part of an independent historical project dedicated to making the city’s Second World War occupation history more accessible to visitors. During this 2 hour, intimate and easy-paced walking tour, you will learn: - How the Belgian government responded to the invasion. - How ordinary people adapted to survive: the Belgian exodus, black markets, bombings, and resistance movements. -How the Jewish population was discriminated against, persecuted, and targeted for deportation. -How Brussels managed to regain its freedom and peace once more. The Guide Héctor Martínez is a fiction writer inspired by the complexities of war. Drawing on research and storytelling, he created Occupied Brussels to make the city’s hidden wartime stories accessible, connecting documented events to the streets where they happened.
