Belgium
Highlights & Suggested Itineraries
If Belgium's spotlight on the European stage is a little dim, it's only because its people are rarely boastful. This slow-burning country has more history, art, food and architecture packed into its tiny self than many of its bigger, louder neighbors.
A rich and bubbling vat of beer, chocolate, oil paint and bureaucrats, Belgium gives off the heady smell of the bourgeoisie. But stir the pot a little and you'll find an 'artificial state' made up of two parts Germanic Flemings to one part Celtic-Latin Walloons.
Waterloo & The Royal Army History Museum Tour
Take a tour from Brussels into the battlefield at Waterloo and the Royal Army History Museum. The Battle of Waterloo was a turning point in European history and a must-do for any student of history.

Amsterdam Day Trip
Drive through the Dutch countryside of polders and windmills, and spend a day exploring Amsterdam. Holland is just a stone's throw away from Belgium and well worth a day's trip.
Suggested Itineraries: Belgium
The richly historic city of Antwerp is Belgium's most underrated tourist destination. Here eclectic Art Nouveau mansions stare back at Neo-Renaissance villas, and medieval castles provide a magical backdrop for the city's myriad bars and cafes.
Southwest of Antwerp, Ghent was once a medieval-era powerhouse due to its 14th-century status as the largest cloth producer in Europe, and its rebellious nature when it came to tax increases. Now the capital of the Flanders province of Oost-Vlaanderen, it is home to a significant student population.
