Secret Brussels
A « love hotel » where you can say a prayer, a reconstituted section of the Senne river at Saint-Géry, a farm in the city centre, Masonic secrets in the Parc de Bruxelles, a hotel overlooking the Grand-Place, Magritte's remarkable physiognomical fountain, the spot where the tsar of Russia vomited in the Parc de Bruxelles in 1717, the former rotunda of the Panorama car park, the highchair in Montgomery Square, homage to a « soldier pigeon », potholing at Koekelberg basilica, a swimming pool with a panoramic view of the city, a scandalous temple in the Parc du Cinquantenaire, an immense vegetable garden at Uccle, a 19th-century artists studio at Schaerbeek, a camping site in the heart of the city, a forgotten garden-city at Forest...
For those with a keen eye who dare to open doors, Brussels abounds with curiosities and surprising details that will surprise residents as well as travellers who thought they knew the city well.
