Belgium is probably best known for its chocolate; however, this is a sickly oversimplification. Cities such as Brussels and Bruges are full of delicately preserved medieval architecture and make for ideal urban breaks.

Belgian cuisine is heavily influenced by their French neighbors; Michelin-starred restaurants are easy to find, serving international dishes on cobbled side streets.


For an antidote to busy towns and cities, follow the River Meuse south to where it meets the Lesse River in the Ardennes; rent kayaks and canoes or ramble the afternoons away in unspoiled countryside.
