Groups
A guided tour is always an enriching experience. You will learn about history, architecture, works of art, etc. The guide will draw your attention to lesser-known or less visible aspects. They will accompany you to the gallery and museums (the Museum of the Black Sisters and the Museum of Modern Religious Art) ending the tour at the panorama.
The Basilica offers guided tours in French, Dutch, Brussels dialect, English, Italian, and Spanish. A guide accompanies a maximum of 20 people. A guided tour lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. Of course, we take your specific requests into account (presence of children, people with disabilities, etc.)!
Guided tours are preferably held in the afternoon. Reservations can only be made using the request form (info@basilicakoekelberg.be).
