A small European power is a tasty piece of cake (or rather, chocolate) for a tourist, but for some reason a rare guest on a trip includes only Belgium: if you get to Europe, you want to see as many countries and cities as possible.
The rich history of the country, many preserved monuments of the Middle Ages and Gothic castles make tourism in Belgium one of the main components of its economy. In addition, in the country you can relax on the coast, improve your health at local resorts, and have a good time in shopping centers and entertainment complexes.
Greetings from Hercule Poirot
The famous detective was originally from Belgium, he stood guard over the law, as the current police do. A tourist feels quite comfortable in the country, both in the capital and in a small remote village. There are places that are dangerous for visitors to Belgium, where you should increase your vigilance, these are urban transport, markets and shops. It is worth keeping valuables under supervision, and even better - in the hotel safe.
Capital symbols
All travelers rush to this monument, no matter where they come from. Manneken Pis, set in the center of Brussels, is undoubtedly one of the most popular cultural sites. In addition, it has been replicated on postcards, booklets, played out in souvenirs and brings considerable income to the residents of the capital.
In terms of popularity, he left far behind the famous Belgian chocolate, and the finest laces, which are made according to old technologies and patterns, and even diamonds. True, shiny stones, although they are attracted by the beauty of the cut, are still not available to everyone.
Where and what
Not only the capital of Belgium is attractive from a tourist point of view, but also other cities and areas. It is clear that most of the sights are concentrated in Brussels, and in addition to the monument to the boy peeing, there are many places worth visiting.
Many tourists dream of visiting Antwerp, where the most beautiful Belgian cathedral, built in honor of Our Lady, is located. In the same city, and not at all in the capital, the halls of the Royal Museum of Art are located. Another favorite city for travelers is Bruges, where the world-famous Belfort Tower immediately turns out to be the center of attention of the guests. In Liege, amazing discoveries await guests at the moment of arrival - the station will amaze with its futuristic landscapes.
A special excursion can be devoted to the Belgian castles, since there are a sufficient number of them and in general they are well preserved.
