Belgium in a nutshell!

Belgium is the country of beer, chocolate and comic strips. It is hard not to fall for the charms of our kingdom. Warm-heartedness, surrealism, creation and especially our entrepreneurship only begin to characterize us.

Our country has a central location in the heart of Europe and has been Burgundian, Spanish, Austrian, French and even Dutch throughout time! It is obvious why visitors keep on discovering the beauty of our history, art, gastronomy, architecture and of course our nature?

So, don't hesitate to visit our three regions, the north called Flanders, the centre with Brussels, Capital Region and the south with Wallonia and the Ardennes.

Belgium is also an important European nightlife scene: "hip" youngsters and other night owls specialised in the "latest trends" love to come here.

That is why our small federal country, where the European institutions are located, is undoubtedly the perfect tourist destination!
