Mons - European Capital of Culture Summary

Mons - European Capital of Culture: European Capital of Culture by Antony Mason

The first dedicated English-language guidebook to Mons, European Capital of Culture 2015. Mons is a town itching to be discovered. Cobbled streets rise on a twisty medieval grid to its beautiful central square, and then on up to a crescendo at the 17th-century Belfry, one of the town's four UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Historic, pretty and manageably compact it is the perfect short stay destination.

About Antony Mason

Antony Mason has been writing about Belgium for some 20 years - a happy outcome of being married to a Belgian (a Walloon from Waterloo, as it happens). He is the "Brussels Expert" for the Daily Telegraph series of online city break guides and writes occasional articles for the Daily Telegraph Saturday Travel section (e.g. on the WW1 centenary commemorations, and the wonders of Belgian frites (chips)). His most recent Belgium-oriented publication is his translation and adaptation of Le Gout des Belges by Eric Boschman, called A Slice of Belgium in the English edition (Lannoo Publishers, 2014), a humorous analysis of what the Belgians really eat.
