The influences of times gone past
And sovereigns from different lands
Have wound a pattern of rich strands.
Take architecture: there are traces
Of Gothic castle, convent places
Baroque is plentiful and proud
Art Nouveau always draws a crowd!
A touch of Rome in leafy park
Flood-lit law courts after dark
A Sacré Coeur – the Basilique*
Little Manhattan – high rise street.
To observe these treasures, take the tram
Or yellow cycle if you can
Metro travel is OK
But sights on foot blow you away!

* La Basilique du Sacré Coeur - Koekelberg
You see so much more on foot!
