Introduction
Belgium specialises in cities and towns with the kind of beautifully preserved medieval features that make a charming environment for enjoying legendary Belgian hospitality. The country has a rightful reputation for producing some of the world’s finest chocolate, moules, frites, waffles and other epicurean delights. But of course there is plenty more to be savoured.

A half-day guided tour will take in Grand Place, a 17th century square and one of Europe’s finest, the neoclassical shopping arcade of Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, and the iconic Manneken Pis fountainstatue.

The atmospheric cities of Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp have a rich historical heritage to uncover. All can be reached on day visits from Brussels.
