Walloon

Overview:

When planning a trip to Europe, Belgium is often overlooked. To miss this wonderful, small country that has three official languages, French, Dutch and German, would be a mistake. Befitting its multi language personality the country is also multi cultural displaying French, Dutch and German influences.

To some, Belgium is synonymous with waffles. After all, there are not many food products named for a country. The other that comes to mind, French fries, are actually incorrectly named as these also are generally accepted as having originated in Belgium. While not carrying the country name the chocolates and beers of Belgium are world famous and not to be missed. Beyond fries, waffles, chocolate and beer, Belgium is noted for its fine cuisine offered by many wonderful restaurants.

Some of Europe’s finest inns, castle accommodations and city hotels are found in Belgium. These wonderful lodgings are often in or near some of the finest cities of Europe including Bruge, Brussels, Liege and Antwerp, to name just a few
