Tournai. Its capital

than “food lovers’ heaven”. Enjoying a fiesta of mussels in Brussels, a
meaty main and, on the dessert menu, there’s the option of the famous
Belgium Waffles found at the street stores. Want more? Sure, take a day trip
down to the small town Brugge - every chocolate lover’s heaven where you’ll
find unlimited supplies chocolate in all sizes and shapes which can be
enjoyed with a glass of mulled wine.
Apart from food there’s also plenty to do: you can enjoy the sites,

just as romantic.

Belgium's history has always been linked to both commercial and cultural
exchange, and much of its character is due to its role as the great meeting
place of Western Europe. Traces of the Austrians, Spanish, French and Dutch
can still be seen in its architecture and in the lifestyle of its people.
You will see superb examples of art and architecture past and present -
Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, Nouveau. Cities teem with museums, historical
buildings, theatre, music and festivals.
Much has been said about Belgium's hospitality and it's all true. Because
of the country's location as an international center of commerce and
culture, Belgians are at ease with travelers from all over the world. They
are proud of their homeland, and anxious to help get to know it better.
You'll find them always personable, cooperative and courteous. The Flemish
speak Dutch and the Walloons speak French. In Brussels, the capital, both
languages are spoken. But to make it easy, everybody speaks English, albeit
with an accent.
Folklore is an important part of life in Belgium. Carnivals, festivals,
pageants, plays and religious processions are held all year long. Almost any
occasion is cause for a parade and almost every parade includes a giant or
two.
Somehow, Belgium has maintained a low-key approach to all of this
international sophistication. It is a country for connoisseurs, but
connoisseurs who do not take themselves too seriously. Because the Belgians
themselves certainly do not.
