Tourist Spots

There are plenty of tourist attractions in Belgium. Because the country is relatively small, travel distances are short and there are a many places, which can be visited in just a few days.

If it is just Brussels you intend on visiting, apart from sampling the local food, beer, chocolate and enjoying the atmosphere, many of the attractions such as the african arts museum are withing biking distance or a short tram ride away. Just outside Brussels is Meise, Atomium, Waterloo and Beersel all of which with their repective attractions and only being a 15 minute car journey from the centre of Brussels.

Further outside Brussels, there are many towns and cities such as Oudenaarde, Kortrijk, Damme, Bruges, Namur and Rochefort to name just a few, all have beautiful countryside, architechture and castles to be explored.
