    A 2.5-hour walking tour of Saint-Gilles, curated by visit.brussels.

    A visit to Saint-Gilles is like walking through an open-air art nouveau museum with intimate parks and gardens, working-class neighbourhoods that convey a Mediterranean charm, trendy cafés and eateries, and a multicultural population. Nowadays, Saint-Gilles is a gem, a very popular commune. When the town hall of Saint-Gilles was built at the beginning of the 20th century, the 'Kuulkappers' (i.e. Cabbage Cutters), that's the nickname of the inhabitants, wanted to surpass the efforts made by the city of Brussels. A mission in which they succeeded. Their building took on enormous dimensions, and was characterised by beautiful ornaments and statues, and a 41 metre high belfry tower.

    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.
