Secret Brussels is the result of an observation: a selection of guides that generally all describe the same places is all that is available to residents and frequent visitors to this capital city. There is hardly anything surprising or new for those who know their city well. This guide is for them, with the hope that it will also please casual visitors who like to wander off the beaten track. After the success of the two previous editions, here is the third edition of Secret Brussels. Sites that have closed are no longer included, of course, and we have added new ones. We have also covered four additional neighbourhoods: Woluwe-Saint-Pierre and Saint-Lambert, Auderghem and Watermael-Boitsfort. In all, more than 70 new sites...
