Belgium is a small, highly developed and densely populated country of ten million million people at the cross-roads of Western Europe who enjoy a high standard of living.
Its immediate neighbours are France to the southwest, Luxembourg to the south east, Germany to the east and the Netherlands to the north.
Dutch and French are both spoken in Belgium. The weather is seasonal, with warm weather from May to September and snow likely during winter months.
Getting around
Belgian National Railway has a large rail network with regular and frequent trains on most lines. The port town of Ostend is conveniently located right next to the rail station.
To travel by car, traffic drives on the right. Main towns are connected by toll-free motorways. Motorways are designated by a white ‘E’ on green signs, other trunk roads by the prefix ‘N’, and minor roads by a ‘P’.
Because of its size, there are no internal flights in Belgium.
Sightseeing
Visit a reinvented Antwerp, which is now regarded by some as a hotbed of fashion and modern design, or visit the political capital of the new Europe, Brussels.
Admire the medieval heart of Ghent which boasts many historic buildings, including three abbeys. Key attractions include St Bavo’s Cathedral, the place of Charles V’s baptism and home to The Adoration of the Mystical Lamb, the Van Eyck brothers’ masterpiece.
