Product Description

Product Description
This handbook to the city of Brussels features accounts of every attraction; detailed reviews of the pick of Brussels' bars, restaurants, accommodation, and shops; excursions to Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp, Waterloo, and Villers-la-Ville; and colour maps.

Excerpted from The Rough Guide to Brussels by Martin Dunford, Phil Lee. Copyright © 2001. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
CLIMATE
Brussels – and Belgium – enjoys a fairly standard temperate climate, with warm, if mild, summers and cold winters, without much snow. The warmest months are usually June, July and August, the coldest December and January, when short daylight hours and weak sunlight can make the weather seem colder (and wetter) than it actually is. Rain is always a possibility, even in summer, which actually sees a greater degree of rainfall than autumn or winter. Warm days in April and May, when the light has the clarity of springtime, are especially appealing. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A reliable guide, good coverage of Brussels., 27 Jan 2002
I live in Brussels, and I use this book regularly when visitors come to stay, when planning trips with my family, and to check out sites and areas which I haven't explored already. It is infinitely better than the Insight Guide, for instance. I annotate the RG to Brussels descriptions with details of children's playgrounds, for instance, and add stars to help me remember which of the many brilliant places to visit in Brussels are the most brilliant of all. Its a handy-size guidebook too, easy to put in your pocket and read in a bar without looking too much like a tourist. It has its snooty side, of course, all the Rough Guides do, but regular readers of their books will know how to interpret their disapproval of places which sound actually quite good. But, if you plan to explore areas of Belgium outside Brussels, get an supplementary guidebook: the Brussels RG is really good only for Brussels, the day-trips section is tiny, and highly limited.
