Home to the administrative and legislative offices of the European Union and NATO, Brussels is known to attract Eurocrats. For regular visitors however, the character of Belgium is low key, bordering on cozy. The city is full of delights – the Grand Palace, moules frites (mussels with fries), pralines, uncrowded museums, art nouveau, Tintin, great beer and chocolate to die for. Think of Brussels as a less expensive version of Paris; similar scale, architecture, food, shopping, walking tours and quality hotels.
Plan to go now, and take the STREETWISE® map of Brussels, as it has everything you’ll need for a wonderful visit.
The main map of Brussels covers a large part of the central city in detail and contains all important sites, hotels, architecture, metro stations and parks. The inset map of Brussels City Center enables you to walk and experience the warren of old streets and visit sites at your leisure with confidence. The inset map titled Domaine Royal Area Map depicts the major park and shows attractions such as the location of the famous Atomium, recently restored and reopened. The Brussels Area Map depicts all major routes into and out of Brussels. This Brussels map is also useful when renting a car for adventures outside the city.

Belgium: An Overview for Travelers
May 3, 2009 by Destination Guide
Filed under Where To Go & What To See
Between Holland, Germany and France, on the coast of the North Sea, you will find the country of Belgium, obtaining its name from the Celtic tribe of the Belgae.
Belgium has been influenced by many European powers through its history. Known as the crossroads of Europe, the influences of the Romans, Celts, Germans, the French and the Spanish are prevalent.
Belgium is made up of three separate regions independent of its federal government. The three regions are Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels. Divisions of these regions are significant and you might actually think of these as separate countries within the borders of Belgium.
The Kingdom of Belgium is located in Western Europe and only covers about 12,566 square miles. The capitol of Belgium is Brussels and a major center of finance in Europe, with a population of only 922,000. Antwerp’s population is a mere 452,000 estimated and is the second largest city in Belgium. The entire population for the country is about 10.4 million people and grows only at a rate of ½% a year.
A few additional facts about the country are a literacy rate of 95%, and the compositions of the religious faiths throughout. The Roman Catholic faith is the religion among the majority of Belgium. Other religions that exist within the country are Protestant, Jewish, Anglican, and Islam. There are three languages spoken in the country with French being the predominant language, and the others being Dutch and German. It is a guarantee that Belgium has a mixture of influences having been ruled by a host of European empires during its history. The country does boast famous artists and has cities that are considered major trading centers.
This country is definitely worth a visit!
