Belgium

Bruges canals and the Brussels Grand Place are the obvious entry points for the articles in this category, but Globerove Belgium coverage extends into the parts that quick city breaks skip. Ghent gets equal attention to Bruges. Antwerp appears for its diamond quarter and its fashion museums. The Flemish coast and the Ardennes forests each get their own pieces, and the small towns of the Westhoek with their First World War history get serious treatment.

Food writing covers Belgian beer with the seriousness it deserves, plus the chocolate, the frites tradition, and the regional dishes that travelers rarely meet outside the country. Practical material includes the train network that makes day trips easy, the language line between Flanders and Wallonia, and the etiquette of small-town brasseries.
