My Travels in Belgium

Belgium is a small but interesting country. Much of the First World War was fought here, and if you take the time to explore the smaller towns you'll quickly find war cemeteries and memorials all over the place.

Brussels is the capital of Belgium and also the capital of the European Union. As a result you'll notice a lot of foreigners there which all contribute to make Brussels a very cosmopolitan city.

Belgium is also very well known for their beer. Brands to look out for are Stella Artois, Hoegaarden, and Leffe. Many times when you go to a pub they'll have hundreds of different beers ranging in alcohol content, price, and presentation. It all makes for a great night life.

Brussels is such a politically important city that there are many flights in and out of the Brussels airport. It's located a little ways outside of the city but is well connected by train to many other Belgian cities. Cheap flights to Brussels, Belgium
