Welcome to Belgium!
If you love art, architecture and history, as I do, then you've come to the right place. Belgium, although a small country, is packed with beautiful sights, from Gothic cathedrals and ancient abbeys to grand squares and Baroque palaces, from charming villages and scenic landscapes to bustling cities and serene waterways.
