Capital of Europe
The allure of the multi-cultural capital, Brussels, stems from its mix of political intrigue, artistic influence, historical significance, and a thriving social scene.You'll explore and learn at Atomium and Musical Instruments Museum (MIM). Family-friendly places like Grand Place and Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert will thrill your kids. Get out of town with these interesting Brussels side-trips: Bruges (Torture Museum Oude Steen, The Markt, &more), Ghent (Gravensteen, Patershol, &more) and The Dunes of Bredene (in Bredene). There's lots more to do: learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Pairi Daiza, kick back and relax at Plage d'Amante, examine the collection at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, and find something for the whole family at Mini-Europe.

Highlights from your trip
Belgium travel guide
A small country packing a big punch in terms of tourist attractions, Belgium sits at the crossroads of Western Europe, its cities soaked in history and famed for their lively arts, fashion, and dining scenes. Although it advertises itself simply as "A Food Lover's Dream," this country of just 11 million people boasts a rich architectural heritage, world-famous breweries, pristine natural areas, and touching memorials marking major battlegrounds from both World War I and World War II. Put the country's elegant cities of Brussels and Bruges at the top of your itinerary, but don't forget that Belgium's less-explored countryside offers dense forests, rolling hills, and lush valleys.
