 The significance of water |
2 Quai des Péniches 2bis Brussels 1000 Belgium +32 (0)2 513 8940 (Informatie voor toeristen) http://www.brusselsbywater.be |
Like most important European cities, Brussels developed by the water. Until the mid-19th century, the river Senne crossed the entire city (it was covered over for sanitary reasons). Until the early 20th century there was even a harbor in the city's center. Now, only the port and the canal Brussels-Charleroi remain. Brussels by Water wishes to revive the importance of water for this city. On Tuesdays from May 1 to September 30, it organizes guided tours around the harbour and also offers long boating excursions departing from Brussels. The choice is vast, so for more details visit the website. See a different side of Brussels! Review © 2007, Wcities |
