Belgium
Belgium is a small gem of a country in Western Europe full of beautifully preserved medieval history. This is a delightful country to visit where you will encounter everything from Dutch speaking Flanders in the north, to French speaking Wallonia in the south and bilingual Brussels in the centre.
Belgium’s fascinating past can be seen everywhere in its architecture and lifestyle of its people. This charming country is famous for its beer, chocolate, waffles and even French fries (which actually originated in Belgium). You will discover a wonderful choice of great things to do and see from visiting museums in Brussels, to hiking in the woods of the Ardennes or taking a trip to the historic city of Bruges, one of the most picturesque cities in Europe.
Belgium buzzes with an exuberant social scene too that includes jazz festivals, rock concerts, nightclubs, traditional pubs and casinos.
