Rick Steves Belgium

the long version

"You can count on Rick Steves to tell you what you 'really' need to know when traveling in the Belgian towns of Bruges, Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent. The self-guided walks and tours in this book will lead you through medieval squares with soaring bell towers and down tranquil lanes bordering quiet canals. Take a peek at a famouts squiriting statue visitit the ultramodern European Parliament, and lose yourself in the work of the Flemish Primitives. Smell the hops and yeast of beer fermenting in boutique breweries. Explore Flanders Fields -- the idyllic Belgian countryside that was forever transofrmed by the trench warfare of World War I. When it's time for a break, wash down some Beligian fried with a local ale."--From publisher's description.
