SELF-GUIDED WALKS - THE ESSENTIAL TRAVEL GUIDE FOR BRUSSELS
Brussels in Sips & Steps is a travel guide in paper and ePub formats that presents 14 self-guided walks through Brussels. It is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other online bookstores.
Brussels in Sips & Steps reveals parts of Brussels hidden down alleys and around the next corner. Walk one block and you will find a remnant of the 16th Century when Brussels was a crucial point along trade routes of the time, a prize fought for by the French and the Spanish. Walk another and you will see the Brussels that was the capital of one of the 19th Century’s richest countries, a city whose leading citizens fueled the Continent’s industrial revolution with coal, steel and rubber and whose liberal constitution nurtured freedom of expression, manifested in art, industrial innovation and architecture. Walk the city and you see a haphazard combination of progress and neglect, but always a city that is alive.
Each walk has an estimated time for completion and is illustrated with easy to follow maps.
Most importantly, Brussels in Sips & Steps names more than 30 debriefing points, convenient places to stop along each of the walks to debrief on what has been learned and to sample a Belgian beer.
