Brussels by Water
Description
Like most important European cities, Brussels developed by the water. Until the mid-19th century, the river Senne crossed the entire city (it was covered over for sanitary reasons). Until the early 20th century there was even a harbor in the city's center. Now, only the port and the canal Brussels-Charleroi remain. Brussels by Water wishes to revive the importance of water for this city. It organizes guided tours around the harbor and also offers long boating excursions departing from Brussels. The choice is vast, so for more details visit the website. See a different side of Brussels!
