    About this ebook

    You are going to love Belgium!  It is not the first choice by many as a tourist or vacation destination, but little do people know what a hidden gem it is.  It is one of the smallest countries in Europe but the size of its culture and the hearts of its people more than make up for it.

    Travel from city to city and you will find plenty to entertain both your days and nights.  It can be visited during anytime of the year and if you happen to be travelling during the cooler months, there is nothing better than a good sweater and a beer at a local pub to warm you up.

    You can spend a few days in Belgium or a few weeks, it doesn’t matter.  You will be happily welcomed anywhere you go.  The people are friendly, down-to-earth and they’ve got a good sense of humor.  The culture is progressive and youthful and you can see it in their artsy city centers, yet they are all about showing off their colorful past and history, even dating back to medieval times.

    Come to Belgium and experience all that you want and wish to, eat, have a beer or two and come and make some new friends.

    This guide is about to show you how you can go to Belgium.  How you may enjoy it, where you can go, what you can see and most importantly what you can truly experience, on more than one level.  Utilize each of the chapters to guide your trip from beginning to end.  Plan a trip suiting only your dreams and imagination.  There is plenty to see and do for all, both near and far.  Belgium is truly for everyone.  There is a past, there is a present and there is a future and you can see it in their modern cities with many proud remnants from their past.  Belgium is a culture about living in harmony with its surroundings and making the world a better place. 

    Part of enjoying Belgium on your visit will simply be about enjoying the present, your surroundings and the fortunate opportunity you have been given to travel to this distant land.

      Are you ready to start the journey?

      Let's go!

      Chapter 1:

      Welcome to Belgium!

      Welcome to Belgium!  This is a country for everyone who wish to explore another country, its history, innovation, culture and more.  There is plenty to see and do and the best thing about a vacation in Belgium is as the country is relatively small, you can see almost everything!  So how are you going to pack it all into your adventure?  This guide will tell you how.  We will tell you where to go, what to see, what to eat, and as you are in Belgium, the official world capital of beer, we will tell you what to drink.  In fact, there is a chapter on the beer of Belgium all on its own for your enjoyment!

      See the major tourist sights of Belgium and then see a little bit more, a little of the beaten path.  It is a country for all ages and many interests.  Belgium, though it may be small, is home to many innovators, entrepreneurs, movers and shakers.  The mindset is progressive and the attitude of the locals is young and free and they enjoy getting out.  The Belgians are friendly people and down to earth, easy to pick up a conversation with and if you enjoy just simple, straightforward attitudes, then you are sure to enjoy your stay and even make a few friends.  Just head to the nearest pub.

      Highlights for Your Trip to Belgium

      Before delving into this guide completely, let us begin with just a taste of things you can experience and enjoy in Belgium.

      Iconic Belgium

      • Beer!  If you’ve come to Belgium, then you better be thirsty.  The country is home to over 1,200 different styles of beer.  That’s right styles, not brands!  Though there are plenty of those as well.  As you go from city to city, try the local brews which are sometimes on tap.  Be sure to see the final chapter in this guide where we give you a little run-down on what you should try.

      • Medieval Belgium - The country of Belgium has a very ancient past and is one of the oldest settlements in Europe.  There is evidence of the Medieval Times checkered all about the country in immense castles and small villages. 

      • Artistic Belgium - You don’t have to be an art buff to appreciate the vast culture and collections found about the country.  Be sure to visit the many art museums especially in Antwerp and Brussels.  The Royal Art Collection Museum in Antwerp has been rated in the top ten art museums in all of Europe!

      • Belgium’s sense of humor - The Belgian people are a canny bunch.  Maybe it’s the beer running through their veins.  If you meet the people, which you will, you will find them intelligently entertaining and you can see it in their art forms in many city centers. 

      • Comics!  Comic books were invented in Belgium and they are proud of it.  It may not be much your own culture, but a visit to a comic book museum in Brussels is a must-see.  For them it is an art form and the country is home to many internationally celebrated comics such as Tintin and the Smurfs. 

      • Belgian Fries.  Belgian Mussels.  Belgian Waffles.  Belgian Chocolate.  Belgian Beer (Was that already mentioned?).  Do they need much more of an explanation?

      Unique Experiences

      • Take a beer tour at one of the many breweries.  There are plenty found all over the country.  For some details on booking a tour and where to go, see Chapter 11!

      • Go hiking in Belgium!  If you need a little time away from the city, there are some nice hikes and walks in nature in a few parts.  Many think Belgium is a flat country, but there are plenty of hills to give you a workout in the south.

      • Visit the villages.  Many come to Belgium for Antwerp, Bruges and Brussels, but make time to visit at least one of the villages in the Ardennes.  They are quiet, peaceful and can make for a romantic getaway.  Go where time has almost stood still.

      • Treat yourself to a private sauna.  In the major cities you can find a number of posh saunas that make for a relaxing and intimate atmosphere where you can get away from everyone
