Belgium

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The affair is to move.
~ Robert Louis Stevenson

Belgium Is More Than Just Waffles

Think of Belgium and waffles, chocolate and beer come to mind, and maybe lace and diamonds too. Those are all wonderful aspects of the country, but Belgium is so much more.

A small country in Western Europe, Belgium is also known for medieval towns and Renaissance architecture. This beautiful and densely populated country ranges from flat coastal plains to rolling and wooded hills.

Flanders to the north is the Dutch speaking region of the country and Wallonia to the south is the region where French is spoken.
