Belgium

Much like the fermentation process of lambic beer, which is a technique and product unique to the area surrounding Brussels—and which numbers just one out of hundreds of famous Belgian beers—Belgium itself is a country that seems to improve with age. The small nation has long been one of the richest countries in the world in terms of financial wealth, but it is the treasures travellers find in its culture, people and lifestyle that keep them coming back year after year, helping Belgium trips retain the title of one of the most popular tour destinations in Europe.

Throughout the ages, Belgium has, largely due to its significant strategic position in the heart Western Europe, been subject to influence from a variety of different European cultures, be it in the form of occupation from an invading nation, or merely Belgian incorporation of aspects of foreign cultures that have transcended the borders of neighbouring countries. To join our Belgium trips is to witness an amalgam of architectural style; Roman, French, Dutch, Austrian, German and Spanish to name a few; and with three official languages—Dutch (often called Flemish), German and French—as well as perhaps an additional unofficial one in Brussels (English), Belgium's multiculturalism rivals anywhere in Europe. The delightful experience of taking in a splendid, medieval Gothic cathedral or a majestic, neo-classical Austrian palace is only enhanced by overhearing a multitude of tongues in the background or by intermingling with the peoples who hail from all over the globe and who are attracted to Belgium precisely because of its reputation as a multicultural centre.

For a country with a population of a scant 10 million, Belgium often surprises with its prevalence on the world stage. Not only serving as the headquarters of both the European Union and NATO, and thereby making itself a highly popular destination among political dignitaries, Belgium is also recognised the globe across for its fascinating history, remarkable and varied architecture, culinary prowess and distinctive culture. Belgium delivers an excellence in these arenas that many larger nations fail to come close to and unlike many countries of inferior size, Belgium manages to avoid being wholly subsumed by larger and more influential cultures, instead retaining a strong semblance of self while simultaneously sustaining a diverse and multicultural environment.

Few tour destinations pack such a punch as does Belgium and whether travellers are seeking history, beaches, architecture, culinary delicacy or just variety in general, our Belgium trips are the way to go.
