Affectionately called the 'Essence of Europe', Belgium’s sobriquet is quite befitting, especially for its unmatched cultural blend. Belgium is situated in Western Europe and bordered by Germany, France, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. On a visit, you’ll be bowled over by its rich culture and heritage, which is a result of  the centuries of intermix between the French, Dutch, Spanish and Austrians here.

Although small in size, Belgium is a thriving country with warm, courteous and and friendly people. The multilingual country can essentially be divided into two parts- the Flemish north (Flemish-speaking) and the Walloon south (French-speaking). A day trip at Belgium can be more gratifying than spending weeks anywhere else! Enjoy a shopping spree at the fashion city of Antwerp, or cruise down a canal in Bruges. Savor Belgian chocolates and gorge on gallons of beer!  Belgian moules, frites and waffles are known throughout the world.

Brussels, the capital of Belgium, is a world class city, with a skyline domintaed by numerous architectural excellences. This lively cosmopolitan is where you’ll find the headquarters of the EU and NATO. No wonder, it’s often referred to as the ‘Capital of Europe'. Enjoy eating out in Brussel’s finest restaurants and soak up the boisterous nightlife. If you’re an enthuisiast of history, be sure to visit North Flanders. Glance through the historical cities and museums and gulp down the local brew at the cafes. Travel further south to Wallonia to feast on the breathtaking beauty of the hills of Ardennes and immerse yourself into the cultural revelries.
