Belgium is famous for mouthwatering chocolates, waffles smothered in whipped cream, and steaming bowls of moules frites. Not forgetting, of course, its historic cities.

There's beautiful Bruges with its narrow cobbled stone streets, meandering waterways and picturesque canals that wind through medieval buildings. The charms of Ostend shouldn't be overlooked, with its bustling harbour, miles of golden beach, beautifully landscaped gardens and multitude of bars and restaurants.

Or how about Brussels? See the Grand Place, one of the most beautiful squares in Europe, edged by magnificent merchant guildhouses, take in one of the many fascinating museums, or visit the Atomium for a panoramic view of the home of the EU.

Or explore the natural beauty of the forest of Ardennes, where picturesque villages, castles and forts nestle in the unspoilt lush valleys. Take your passengers on a tour of the gardens and palaces such as the fabulous 18th century Annevoie Gardens and riverside town of Dinant, then cruise along the river Meuse to the beautiful Chateau de Freyr, and savour local specialities such as Ardennes ham, white pudding from Rethel, venison and sugar cakes.

Whatever you're after – culture, architecture or cuisine – Belgium has it all.
