Belgium is a small Kingdom in Europe with a lot to see. Unfortunately, it isn't well known by many tourists. They just pass Belgium when going from Amsterdam to Paris and if we are lucky they will have a short stop in Brussels, our capital.

I hope, I can change your minds about Belgium by showing you what we have to offer.

Belgium has two different cultures, landscapes and major languages.
As I am from the northern part of Belgium (Flanders) most tips and customs will be focused on the Flemish part of our Kingdom.

Enjoy your virtual stay in Belgium and hopefully one day, you will visit it for real.

Brugge is my favorite city in Bellgium. I have been to Brussels more than 5 times but have hardly any pictures as I was so busy with my work. But next time, I am sure I will bring my digital camera.

I'm not a Belgium fanatic, but it does do good to read these things. :-) When I live in China, I'll look at your pages now and then I think. :-)
