According to the World Migration Report 2015, Brussels is the most cosmopolitan city in Europe, and after Dubai even the second most cosmopolitan city in the world. The year 2017 will be characterized by Brussels' enormous diversity. That's what MIXITY.brussels 2017 highlights throughout the theme year. visit.brussels has therefore created the MIXITY WALKS routes in partnership with Brukselbinnenstebuiten and different municipalities. 16 original routes for a different way to discover Brussels.
From Matongé to Old Molenbeek and taking in Flagey, inquisitive visitors will learn everything there is to know about the neighborhoods, their histories and their stories.
