Belgium is arguably the world capital of the comic strip - birthplace of Tintin (Hergé, 1929), the Smurfs (Peyo, 1958), Lucky Luke, Spirou, Blake & Mortimer, and dozens of other beloved characters. The Belgian Comic Strip Centre is housed in a stunning Victor Horta-designed Art Nouveau building - the Magasin Waucquez (1906) - and pays homage to this creative tradition across multiple floors with dedicated rooms, original artwork, interactive exhibits, and a comprehensive bookshop.
Brussels is also an open-air comic strip museum: the Comic Book Route features over 60 giant murals on building walls across the Lower Town depicting scenes from iconic Belgian comics. Pick up the free route map from the Brussels tourist office near Grand Place.
