Brussels for Pleasure by Derek Blyth

For all its pivotal importance historically and politically, not to mention gastronomically, Brussels remains one of the least known cities in Europe. Derek Blyth has lived in Brussels for many years, and his book takes the visitor to the secret and surprising places of Brussels as well as round the grandiose monuments and spectacular museums. Thirteen walks, illustrated with historical paintings, engravings and photographs explore the centre of Brussels. Further pleasures described include not only the forests and villages on the outskirts of Brussels, but also Waterloo, the matchless art nouveau architecture, the superb cemeteries, and surrealist art in the métro. Comprehensive practical information gives a connoisseur’s guide to the restaurants of Brussels, some of the finest in Europe.
