The Place

Known for its assortment of 800 locally brewed beers, its historical contribution as the birthplace of the French Fry, and for the many chocolate factories that make it famous, Belgium is the European destination for indulgence. The perfect Belgium vacation might include partying at the giant street festival in Ghent, ballooning in Brugge, touring the Royal Palace of Brussels, or just picking up some souvenirs at the flea market in Oostende—there are so many attractions Belgium has to offer.
