Not only are the major tourist sections of the city explored, but Brussels in Sips and Steps also reveals hidden gems in sections of the city less-visited by out of towners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of the fourteen walks begins by connecting the dots of Brussels' evolution. Points of interest tell the story of Brussels' emergence from a small fishing village to an important ducal seat of power on a Medieval trade route, later to a creative and financial center that fueled industry, arts and science in late 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Century, and finally to today's capital of the European Union, when saying \"Brussels\" is shorthand for describing European-wide policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo Brussels walk would be complete without a special place to enjoy a beer. \u003cem\u003eBrussels in Sips and Steps\u003c\/em\u003e suggests more than 30 Debriefing Points where visitors can reflect on what has been learned and ask a local for a beer recommendation. Trappist beers, abbey ales, saisons and lambic beers are all described, and a Belgian beer checklist enables readers to track their progress in sampling each type of Belgian beer. While a few stumbles may mix in with the sips and steps, more than thirty maps will help readers find their way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 186\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 7.99 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51774333157664,"sku":"9781732655607","price":15.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d2128b74b62925556b19638e01c08fef.webp?v=1780446457","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/brussels-in-sips-and-steps-fourteen-self-guided-walks-to-explore-brussels-history-and-belgiums-beers-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
