Brussels

This guide is packed with ideas - for sampling the best beers and bars, for a romantic weekend or for discovering the architectural gems. It takes you off the tourist trail to the Brussels only the locals know - from smoke-stained drinking dens to intimate jazz clubs. Our expert authors and local researchers give the lowdown on the city, from the stately squares and world-class art museums to the cobbled backstreets. 76 hotels and 120 restaurants and 62 bars, plus clubs, music venues and puppet shows are all personally reviewed.There are 17 detailed maps, plus 12 pages of full-color maps with grid-references to help you find every sight and recommendation in the guide. You will also find guided walks and itineraries that take you shopping, on an Art Nouveau tour and out to the green oases surrounding the city.
