About Belgium

Though modest in size, Belgium is an interesting country boasting historical cities, as well as good food and fine beers, historical cities and diverse culture. The cosmopolitan capital of Brussels is dominated by a pentagon of boulevards called the Petit Ring.

The gorgeous Belgian countryside is home to some quaint towns and villages. Ghent is cradled in the junction of the Leie and Scheldt rivers.

Belgium always had a lot more going for it than the faceless political and bureaucratic buildings that litter its capital with a string of engaging cities in Bruges, Ghent, Liege that offer impressive architecture, lively nightlife, first-rate cuisine and numerous other attractions for visitors.
