You meet at the Info Kiosk by Anvers metro, the city already moving around you — boulangeries filling the air with butter and the climb toward Sacré‑Cœur opening a skyline of rooftops and cranes. The guide loosens the map into stories: painters’ alleys, a cabaret district that still hums, and wide promenades that frame the Eiffel Tower at a distance.
