Flemish Cities Explored: Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Mechelen, Leuven and Ostend (Pallas for Pleasure)

by Derek Blyth (Author)

Synopsis

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.
