Name:BRUSSELS - EUROPE'S SECRET CAPITAL Location:ANTWERP Details:Brussels doesn't set out to make you love it; rather, it sits back and allows you to do the wooing. The secret is to take time getting under its skin and slowly embracing its uniquely muddled character. After all, it's the capital of Flanders, Belgium and Europe, a francophone enclave in the Flemish north of the country. The Lower Town is centered around the magnificent Grand' Place and still follows a vaguely medieval form, with its narrow, atmospheric streets. The Grand' Place itself, a wide-open cobbled medieval square of elegant guildhouses, is one of Brussels' few set-piece attractions with the Town Hall as its landmark building; its spire will be your point of reference as you weave through the Lower Town streets. The daily business of Brussels takes place here, in the many local bars and cafes whose character and quality are the stuff of legend. South, amid the tourist shops in rue de l'Etuve, is the little statue of the urinating Manneken-Pis - the symbol of Brussels. |

Name:MEDIEVAL BRUGES Location:GENT Details:Bruges is called: 'the Venice of the North'. This splendid medieval city is one of Belgium's crown jewels. In no other European city the feel and the look of medieval times are as present as here in this city close to the North Sea. Bruges is not a tiny miniature city. It ranks, even today, among the important cities of Belgium. It is also the capital of the Belgian province of West-Flanders. When one is lucky with the weather, a stroll through the tiny medieval streets or a canal cruise can be an enchanting experience. Bruges is unique, in the sense that here the town authorities have done the utmost to preserve the medieval-looking image of the city. Of course, not every stone in Bruges has come to us straight from the Middle-Ages. The 19th century neo-gothic style is more present than one should think. Nevertheless, the combination of old, not so old and new fascinates everyone who first sets foot in Bruges |
