Overview

Belgium

From Bruges, one of the Venices of the north, to Brussels, the European capital, Belgium is a varied country to the square mile. You go there to shop, visit the museums, eat mussels with chips, and to taste the pralines. Whether Walloon or Flemish, the Belgian land offers exoticism, a change of scene, and is one of the more accessible countries. From town to town, in the Thalys train: some people even go there to avoid sleeping at night.

pros

  •  The architectural and cultural richness of the towns.
  •  The conviviality of the population.
  •  The proximity and rapidity of the trip.

cons

  •  This flat country is well worth its name, as the relief is almost inexistent.
  •  The greyness of the weather.
  •  The rivalry, both linguistic and cultural, between the Walloons and the Flemish.

Bucolic weekend in Bruges

Situated in Flanders, just 8 miles from the North Sea, romantic Bruges offers one of the most beautiful architectural ensembles in Europe. The canals, the superbly restored façades and the varying scenery make this the perfect spring weekend retreat. It's not only an extremely animated little town, but also a true open air museum, packed with churches ...
