In less than three hours, you can drive from Antwerp in the northern lowlands to
the hilly Ardennes in the south. Though small, Belgium encompasses three
distinct cultural and linguistic regions: the French-speaking Walloons in the
south, the Flemish (Dutch-speaking) population in the north, and a small
German-speaking community in the east. English is widely understood, especially
among football players who enjoy national admiration. Independent from the
Netherlands since 1830, Belgium’s capital, Brussels, is now a major hub of
international diplomacy, home to both the European Union and NATO. Along its
68-kilometre North Sea coast runs the world’s longest tram line, while the
nearby Plain of Flanders, marked by dunes and polders, bears somber reminders of
the World War I battles of Ypres. Walking or cycling tours explore these
poignant sites. Belgium also delights the senses—be sure to sample its
world-famous chocolate, best enjoyed over warm Belgian waffles.
Good to Know
Belgium’s urban centers buzz with trams that rule the roads, so keep a sharp eye while crossing. You’ll also notice a seamless switch from Dutch-speaking Flanders in the north to French-speaking Wallonia in the south.
What to Eat
Belgium tempts with hearty classics like moules-frites (mussels dunked in white wine alongside crisp fries), rich carbonade flamande (beef stew slow-cooked in dark beer). Wash it down with a crisp Trappist beer for the full experience.
