Attractions: When it comes to world-class attractions and exciting
sightseeing options Belgium packs a mighty punch for a country of
such modest proportions. Take your pick from the heavyweight
attractions and cosmopolitan thrills of the capital city Brussels,
to the medieval charms of Bruges, and the lesser known historical
treasures of Ghent. In between, you'll find welcoming people, great
food and Europe's finest beer and chocolates to keep you
energised. Belgium is a year round destination too, although the
countryside does look its best during the summer months of April to
October. The transport infrastructure is excellent, and that makes
getting around a true pleasure. This is not a country to see from the confines of a tour bus,
however. You need to get out on foot and explore the cobbled
streets framed by medieval buildings; spend an afternoon on Grand
Place watching the world go by; rent a bicycle and ride into the
countryside alongside a burbling canal. However you choose to
explore the pleasures of Belgium, spend some time here and you'll
be rewarded with one of Europe's most underrated and overachieving
destinations!
