It may be
the political heart of Europe, but Belgium still knows how to have a good time.
You’ll find historic cities that are brimming with culture and nightlife, grand
palaces and stylish boutiques, potent Trappist beers and world-famous fine
dining. But, if you prefer a slower pace, there are dreamy canals, exclusive
beach resorts and peaceful chateaux and gardens to explore.
With its chocolate and moules-frites, carnivals and cartoon stars, Belgium
serves up a surreal blend of indulgence and opulence.
Belgium is a year-round destination with mild summers and cosy winters.
Summer is a great time to wander the historic cities on foot, tour the
countryside by bike and dine (or drink) al fresco in a canal-side bar. In the
autumn and winter, the ancient cobbled alleyways take on a magical feel and
many cities host twinkling festive markets.
Belgium is known as the ‘Bordeaux of Beer’ and you could happily while away
a weekend sampling some of the 1000+ brews on offer.
