Brussels for Pleasue: Thirteen Walks Through the Historic City (Pallas Guides)

For all its importance historically and politically, not to mention gastronomically, Brussels remains one of the least known cities in Europe. Yet it has some of the most visually arresting sights anywhere on the continent. Derek Blyth has lived in Brussels for many years, and he guides the visitor to its secret and surprising places as well as to its spectacular monuments and museums. Several city walks, illustrated with photos and art, explore the center of Brussels, while further chapters take the reader to the forests and villages on the city's outskirts. Detailed traveler's information includes a connoisseur's guide to restaurants, some of the finest in Europe, as well as extensive reviews of hotels.
