Central & Eastern Europe This is a complex country with multi language, personality and culture, with French, Dutch and German influences.Of course, it is synonymous with waffles, French fries, chocolate and beers. But it is also a very cultural destination with cities such as Bruges, Brussels, Liege and Antwerp, to name just a few.
The Grand-Place for the First Time
There's nothing quite like strolling onto the Grand-Place. You'll never forget your first look at this timelessly perfect cobbled square, surrounded by gabled guild houses and the Gothic tracery of the Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall) and Maison du Roi (King's House).
Admire Art Nouveau
Brussels considers itself the world capital of Art Nouveau, and local architect Victor Horta (1861-1947) was its foremost exponent. You can view the master's colorful, sinuous style at his former home, now the Horta Museum, and in buildings around town.
Travel through Time in Bruges
One of Europe's most handsome small cities. It is perfectly preserved and almost seems like a film set or museum. The picturesque canals are the icing on Bruges's cake.
Tour the Ardennes
Steep river valleys and thickly forested slopes set it apart. This region of castles, stone-built villages, and farms has resort towns like Spa and Bouillon; unequalled cuisine created from fresh produce and game; winter skiing; nature and fresh air in abundance; and towns like Bastogne and Ettelbruck that recall the sacrifice American soldiers made for victory in the Battle of the Bulge.
