    A 2-3-hour walking tour through Cureghem.

    If you walk through the district, you'll immediately notice its multiculturality. Lebanese restaurants and garages, Moroccan and Turkish teahouses, Nigerian or Cameroonian fixers who are eager to buy and export your car to West Africa, Polish and Romanian delicatessens, Italian pizzerias and Greek grocery stores: you'll find it all. People from all over the world came here to try their luck over the decades. In the 19th century Cureghem, a rural annex of the centre of Anderlecht, became the centre of the meat processing industry, the textile sector and car assembly. Today, the Abattoir aims to become the 'belly of Brussels': numerous initiatives relating to food production and distribution are taking place in and around this covered market.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
