Avenue Louise is Brussels' Rodeo Drive or Champs Elysées, the most prestigious shopping street and a real favourite with tourists and residents alike. If you continue walking along Avenue Louise you'll come to Bois de la Cambre, Brussels' largest park; Rue de Loi then leads you to the EEC Building and the Cinquantenaire, a 9-acre park just outside of the bounds of the city centre. Brussels is very suited to being discovered on foot. Take your time, intersperse your sightseeing with a coffee or a beer and enjoy Europe's capital! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Brussels' city centre is basically pentagonal, and all roads lead to the centre of tourism, Grand Place. An aerial view of Brussels would show a surprising amount of greenery and water, all not too far from the heart of the city. The south-eastern part is called the upper city. The Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, Place Royale, Palais de Justice Parliament and Parc de Bruxelles, the primary park in this district, are located here. In the lower city you'll find Grand Place and the famous Manneken Pis, the symbol of Brussels, a small, sometimes clad, statue of a peeing boy. Sights such as the Cathedral of St. Michel, Place du Sablon and Mont des Arts and the city's main shopping complexes are also located here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

De Broukère is Brussels' commercial and entertainment centre. It is also here that you'll find an abundance of seafood restaurants largely due to their close proximity to the excellent fish market which, if you like fish, is definitely worth a visit. The fish is brought in daily and quickly snapped up by the best of Brussels' restaurants. Review © 2007, Wcities |

In Ixelles you'll find the more quiet and tranquil part of busy Brussels, the beautiful Bois de la Cambre (forest), parks, ponds, and the Abbey de la Cambre, which was founded in 1196 by the Sisters of the Cistercian Order. The building was rebuilt during the 17th and 18th centuries after suffering extensive damage during the Wars of Religion. The only remaining section of the original is the church itself, which dates back to the 14th century. Review © 2007, Wcities |
