Let yourself be guided by the hand, the eye and the hart. Brussels and its thousand faces welcomes you with open arms for an unforgetable moment, full of rich memories you won’t resist coming back. As Belgium has been one of the most progressive countries talking about marriage and adoption for homosexuals, its capital, Brussels has become one of the most gay friendly cities in Europe. With its many bars, restaurants, nightspots, shops, museums and events, Brussels is a welcoming place that invites you to party 'til dawn. True to the reputation of the capital, Brussels' gay scene is discrete, varied and warm, as illustrated by portraits of the city's inhabitants included in this Brussels Gay Friendly guide. Written by Christophe Cordier, regular collaborator with Têtu magazine, this guide lists the best "gay" hotspots in the capital as well as the essential tourist sites (the Grand-Place, the Dansaert area, the Cinquentenaire, the Sablon...). The book is divided into three main parts : addresses and “gay” tips (Bars, Nightlife, Restaurants, Shopping, Cruising, Sport and Beauty, Events, Accommodation), touristic information and portraits. It is also available in French.
Les lois pionnières en matière de mariage et d'adoption pour les homosexuels ont depuis quelques années permis à Bruxelles de s'afficher clairement comme l’une des capitales les plus gay friendly d’Europe. À travers ses nombreux bars, lieux de sortie, restaurants, boutiques, musées ou événements, Bruxelles vous accueille et vous invite à faire la fête jusqu’au petit matin. Fidèle à la réputation de la capitale, la scène gay bruxelloise est discrète, variée et chaleureuse, comme en témoignent les portraits de Bruxellois repris dans ce Brussels Gay Friendly. Rédigé par Christophe Cordier, collaborateur régulier du magazine Têtu, ce guide répertorie les meilleurs plans « gay » de la capitale mais s’attarde également sur les lieux touristiques incontournables (la Grand-Place, le quartier Dansaert, le Cinquantenaire, le Sablon...). Ce guide est structuré en trois grandes parties : adresses et bons plans « gay » (bars, restaurants, lieux de sortie, shopping, cruising, sport et beauté, événements, logement), infos touristiques et portraits.
