Exploring Brussels – History and Culture

Exploring Brussels with the Toot Bus made our day easy and enjoyable. Despite the rain, we adjusted our plans and visited the magnificent Cinquantenaire Arch, followed by a stroll through the surrounding park once the skies cleared. At Place Poelaert, we admired the Palais de Justice and took in panoramic views of Brussels from "The View" Ferris wheel. Our day ended at Mont des Arts, where art and history met in a peaceful garden setting. The Toot Bus provided a seamless, convenient way to discover Brussels' cultural treasures at our own pace.

Exploring Brussels – Atomium and Mini Europe

We booked our Toot Bus tickets online to enjoy discounts. They offer various passes, including one- or two-day options and combined passes with mini-Europe. We chose a one-day pass for โ‚ฌ72. Toot Bus provides audio guides in 11 languages and offers separate guides for children. We planned our day to visit Mini-Europe and Atomium. Mini-Europe is a miniature world featuring 350 European wonders. We were amazed by the intricate details and interactive elements. At Atomium, we enjoyed panoramic views from the top floor. We also explored the exhibition and enjoyed the surrounding park. Overall, it was a fantastic day exploring Brussels with Toot Bus.

The Big Bus Experience in Paris

Having enjoyed the Big Bus tours in Abu Dhabi and Los Angeles, we eagerly tried them in Paris. We booked both a night tour and 24-hour hop-on-hop-off access in advance. The night tour was magical, showcasing landmarks like the Eiffel Tower beautifully lit. However, the hop-on-hop-off service had delays and overcrowding. Despite these issues, Paris's beauty made the trip unforgettable.

Exploring Paris with Batobus Hop-on Hop-off Cruise

For our Parisian adventure, we opted for the unique Batobus, a hop-on-hop-off water taxi navigating the Seine River. This was a welcome escape from the jam-packed sightseeing cruises. We purchased a convenient one-day pass online for โ‚ฌ59, allowing us to explore at our own pace. The spacious Batobus boats offered comfortable seating, open areas for taking in the sights, and friendly staff.
