Belgium is the undiscovered jewel in the crown of Western Europe. Having undergone a reconstruction programme, it has rid itself of the industrial mirth of the past. Furthermore to be rejuvenated by cities brimming with fashion, passion and partying.
It has provided a home for the European Union and NATO headquarters for year. In other words, Belgium is often mistaken for the political and bureaucratic face of the world. Therefore the charm of its Belgian chocolates, waffles and cold beers tend to be overlooked. Yet it is the good things in life that you will find in Belgium. Not to mention all of the mouth watering food and drink. Influenced by the invasion of French and Dutch neighbours, Belgium has a glowing reputation for fine dining and coupled with relaxed, friendly locals is the ideal destination for the perfect city break.
Travelling to Belgium by Ferry
If you’re traveling to Belgium from the UK, there are currently no direct passenger sailing ferries. We hope these routes get reinstated soon.
There are number of other options. You could try either a ferry to Holland or a ferry to France and make the short drive over to Belgium. Holland, France and Belgium are all linked with a great motorway network.
