MAIN Travel Tourist Attractions Europe Belgium

Although small in size, Belgium has big influence in Europe as the hub of the European Union in Brussels, its capital city.

First time visitors shouldn't miss the iconic Manneken Pis, probably the most famous statue in all of Brussels, along with other top attractions including the twin towers of the Cathedral of St. Michel & Gudle with its heady mix of romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance styles. However, the very heartbeat of the city can be felt in the main square, year-round dominated by the Grand Palace and in summer covered by a carpet of flowers and buzzing with cafe goers.

As an international power center, Dutch, French, German and English are widely spoken throughout Belgium's three major regions - Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels.

For the casual traveler, Belgium's other top attractions continue to retain an old-world charm in Brussels and Antwerp; vivid medieval majesty in such towns as Ghent and Bruges; contrasted with a stark reminder of war's tragic consequences in a memorial to the 20th century fallen at Flanders Fields.
