"Time Out" Brussels: Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges 
A high-speed hop from London, Paris, Amsterdam and Cologne, the city at Europe's crossroads is as distinguished, diverse and distinctive as any continental capital. Home to the Surrealists and the Breughels, this living monument to art nouveau enjoys a gastronomic reputation second to none - complemented by boundless bar crawls and style-conscious shopping sprees. Using local journalists, writers and experts, the Time Out Brussels Guide offers an informed and detailed excursion around the city and its attractions, from the Gothic and Guildhouse past of the Grand Place to Brussels' present-day role as Europe's capital, taking in its beers and its boutiques, its markets and its mussels, and its comics and its chocolates along the way. Beyond Brussels, the guide also delves deep into the three main metropoli of Flanders: fashion-conscious Antwerp, celebrating 2004 as the year of Rubens; medieval Ghent, unsung and underrated; and Bruges, Belgium's biggest tourist draw. Day trips dip each side of the French/Flemish divide, from the coast around Ostend to Liege nestling on the Dutch and German borders.

Paris Lille Brussels: The Bradt Guide to Eurostar Destinations - by Laurence Phillips
The fast-growing short-break travel market has been fuelled by the "Eurostar experience", making regular trips to the continent a delight. This new Bradt travel guide to Paris, Brussels and Lille by rail is a compact manual to the best each city can offer the short-stay visitor, covering landmark attractions, gourmet restaurants, shopping and many little-explored and even bizarre corners. Additional information is provided on Waterloo station and its surrounding attractions for travellers passing through London. The multitude of tips on making the most of Eurostar services will save the traveller far more than the cover price of this chock-full-of -facts guide and Laurence Phillips' highly personal angle on each city makes for an original and entertaining handbook.
