Product Description
Product Description
The historic Belgian cities of Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Mechelen, Leuven and Ostend are some of the most beautiful and fascinating in Europe. The remarkable blossoming of Flemish art and architecture in the 15th century, and the rich history of a region at the crossroads of European history and trade have created an extraordinary diversity of sights in a relatively small area - not to mention an appetite for enjoyment that is revealed in some of the best cooking, brewing and general joie de vivre in Europe. "Flemish Cities Explored" guides the visitor through six cities on a series of walks that cover everything of interest from art galleries and museums to secret convents and convivial cafes. A clear and informative map accompanies each of the walks, together with illustrations of the beautiful, the quirky and the unmissable.
About the Author
Derek Blyth has been exploring Flemish cities and art for over 20 years and now lives in Brussels working as a writer and translator.

A step-by-step must have for enjoying a visit to Belgium.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flemish Cities Explored: Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Mechelen, Leuven and Ostend (Pallas for Pleasure) (Paperback)
This book was a fantastic guide to the Belgian cities we toured; Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges and other towns were covered in great detail with block by block walking tours describing the history and special features of the architecture. Then, just when you needed it, the book would suggest coffee, lunch, a beer or delicious meal at a location nearby. The recommendations never failed, and we "found" some very special taverns, gardens and outlooks which we would have otherwise missed. I've never enjoyed a guide book so much...I only wish there were more countries covered by this author/publisher. I'm about to buy the England/London book for an upcoming trip because I am positive it will be the best book out there. Enjoy!!!
