Art Nouveau Walk
Before I started work at the Parliament, I was keen to see more of the city. Yet, faced with paying at least 16 Euro for a bus tour, I decided instead to purchase a book from the Brussels tourist information centre of walks around the city. After all, there is simply so much that you just don't see of a city by taking a bus tour.
I decided to save the comicbook wall walk for another weekend as it wasn't the nicest of days weather-wise, and so took the art-nouveau walk around the European District of the city.
Now, I have very little idea what exactly art-nouveau is, but nonetheless I found the houses pointed out in the book to see, very beautiful - especially the one shown left which was definitely my favourite. Apparently this district is very famous for its art-nouveau style housing...
You can see a selection of other houses seen on my walk by viewing the gallery here.
Was good to see another part of the city on foot and I am looking forward already to more walks from the book!
