Brussels has the richest and especially the most diversified Art Nouveau heritage of any city in Europe. Some 500 buil-dings and facades line the squares and streets of the capital and illustrate, each in its own way, the architectural talents of the Art Nouveau masters. These buildings can be discovered by walking through the city and its neighbourhoods while at the same time appreciating the idea that the architects wanted to infuse into the urban landscape at the turn of the last century. So let us embark on the discovery of Brussels, and if our guide today is Art Nouveau, it can only serve as a nice pretext for wonderful strolls through a city full of surprises.
