    Free magazines like ZONE 02 and BRUSSEL DEZE WEEK can be found in lots of public places. You can find a lot of info for the next coming week. Good recommendations!

    * ZONE 02 is available in french and dutch
    ** BRUSSEL DEZE WEEK is only available in dutch

    Fortis Bank Frieze
    by morgenhund, 1 more photos
    The Fortis Bank friezes can be found at the Fortis Bank buildings just round the corner from the National Bank of Belgium buildings on Warmoesenbergstraat. The interesting thing is that the friezes feature more or less entire female characters. It is worth having a look at as it is a very much overlooked frieze.

    There is another place to feel out of the city: "Cité Linthout". Linthout quarter is a region north to the Cinquantenaire Park. The "Cité" has a few houses between two roads (Avenue de Roodebeek and Rue Général Gratry), small but very pleasant.

    chocolate

    This is a product that I well known around the world. I am not the biggest fan of chocolate but I will tell you this is some really good stuff, and it should be something you try while in Belgium.
    They have many little shops through out the city where the chocolate is sold, and if for some reason you have trouble finding a shop just ask and someone will point you in the right direction.

    Crematorium open 24 Hours a
    Day? What The...
    by miketrudeau
    There's really no way for me to tell you much about this, but we saw a sign in a sketchy neighbourhood for a twenty-four-hour crematorium. Now, why would someone need access to a crematorium for all hours of the day? Creepy...
    I was originally going to put this in the Warnings and Dangers section, but you probably will not come across this specific place because it was truly out of the way. So it ends up here.

    This striking fortified tower was built in the 13th and 14th Centuries as part of the defensive walls that once encircled the city. This is all that remains.
