BOOK YOUR VISITS: Heritage Days 2024

New Heritage

Heritage Days offer you the opportunity to explore Brussels’ heritage and visit places that are usually inaccessible. For this 36th edition, Urban has carefully selected a theme that, despite its rich heritage, is still little-known to the general public, the period of 1970 to 2000.

These days will be an invitation to look at a near past that is still very present in our daily lives: the city that was built and transformed from the 1970s until the beginning of the 21st century. Half a century of upheaval following successive crises, the effects of which we are still suffering, but also half a century of a city showing its resilience and a specific materiality we have inherited today.
