Audio guide

Make your visit to the Coudenberg Palace complete with our free audio guide.

We have chosen to focus on the archaeological remains and the unique atmosphere that stems from them during your visit by limiting the number of information panels. We therefore recommend that you supplement your knowledge of the Coudenberg Palace with our free audio guide: historical and archaeological details, old images, photos of the excavations, an interactive map, music from that period or from today...

Historical & archaeological tour

To provide you with an informative framework during (but also before or after) your visit, we have developed our free audio guide, available in French, Dutch, English, German or Ukrainian. 

You can listen to it on your own mobile phone, although we also recommend bringing earphones or headphones for a more enjoyable visit.

You can follow the red numbers (photo) in the site from 1 to 39 and immerse yourself in the historical context through the many stories and photos that explain what you see in front of you.

The audio guide also includes an interactive map to show you where the numbers are located and/or gives you direct access to their content.

Musical tour

You can also choose to explore the archaeological site with music in your ears, recorded live on site in the framework of the annual Coudenberg Sound Box Fest.
