Prosperous and elegant, Belgium annually receives a huge number of tourists on its relatively small territory. Some come here as part of the famous Benelux tour (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg), but no fewer people come with a specific purpose - to visit one of the most developed countries in the world, where the standard of living and prices are worthy of competition with Switzerland.
Belgium is a country of beautiful architecture, gothic castles, delicious chocolate and equally delicious beer. Local cities led by Brussels inevitably evoke enthusiastic sighs, and the culinary delights of Belgian cuisine are in no way inferior to France or Italy.
Travel to Belgium can be very different. Someone goes for a rich "excursion", someone dreams of relaxation on the beaches and SPA centers in Ostend, and someone is attracted by the prospect of buying high-quality diamonds, prices for which are much lower than European ones.
The rich history of the Kingdom of Belgium could not but affect the number of local attractions. Most of them are concentrated in Brussels and the famous "Belgian troika" - Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp. In the capital alone, there are dozens of must-see places:
- Royal Palace;
- Grand Place and the famous Town Hall;
- Bronze Manneken Pis;
- St. Michael's Cathedral;
- Atomium sculpture;
- Royal Museums of Art and History;
- Museum of Medicine and Museum of Natural Sciences;
- beer museum and chocolate museum, etc.
Belgium is famous for its accommodation facilities. Neat, comfortable, there are hotels of different "stars" and price levels. In cities you can find both fashionable representatives of world chains and cozy mini-hotels, which are famous for affordable prices and special flavor.
The cheapest accommodation in Belgium, as well as throughout Europe, is hostels. The cost of living in them starts from 15 euros. A day's stay in a metropolitan hotel as a "bed plus breakfast" will cost at least 50 euros, in Bruges a little more expensive - there you will have to pay at least 60 euros per night. A room in a 5-star hotel in Brussels costs at least 115-120 euros, in Liege - a 5-star price tag starts at 200 euros.
