AN

The sound of heels on cobblestones is the true soundtrack of this region. I have spent years pacing through European streets, and there is something about the layout of these Belgian centers that demands you slow down. When you stop relying on maps and start following the architecture, the city reveals its actual character. Why AN is Best Explored on Foot # Walking is the only way to catch the small details that a car or bus would blur. In AN, the distance between the grand squares and the quiet side streets is short enough that you can cover significant ground without feeling exhausted. The urban design encourages a wandering pace, allowing you to spot the intricate facades and narrow alleys that define the local aesthetic.
