More information about Belgium

Belgium sits at the crossroads of French, Dutch, and German culture, giving the country three official languages and a distinct regional identity in Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels.

Its medieval cities, particularly Bruges and Ghent, remain remarkably intact, having largely escaped the destruction of the two World Wars that reshaped much of the rest of the country.

Belgium is world-famous for its chocolate, waffles, and beer, with over 1,500 beer varieties brewed across the country, including several UNESCO-recognized Trappist traditions.

Brussels, as the de facto capital of the European Union, blends grand historic architecture with a modern international character.

From canal-side old towns to chocolate shops and WWI battlefields, Belgium offers remarkable depth for such a small, easily explored country.
