Well situated between France and Holland, the kingdom of Belgium encompasses all the best that Europe has to offer in an area no bigger than Maryland. Within the span of one day you can take a romantic cruise down a canal in Bruges, hunt for diamonds in Antwerp, enjoy waffles on the beach in Oostende, frolic in a festival in Binche, get lost in a castle in Namur, discover antiques at an outdoor market in Liege, and explore a fine art museum in Brussels. A dense train network connects all of Belgium and makes navigation simple and comfortable for travelers.
In a radius of 50 miles Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges, Mechelen and Leuven are each less than an hour's travel from each other. Nowhere will you find so much history and such great art and architecture in such a concentrated form.
