From 4 to 10 April 2012
Belgium is an ideal place to get away for several days destination. Its cities are relatively small and full of historical treasures to discover. And to round it off, the arrival by plane is easy because of the many airlines operating flights between Spain and Belgium, some of them with ridiculous prices. Also, around once there is very easy thanks to the extensive rail network and service quality.
The Belgian tourism are more historic cities of Flanders, notably Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Mechelen and Leuven. Also well known is the capital, Brussels, which is the European Union too. Besides visiting these cities, we also wanted to see something of Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium and unknown. For that reason we visited Namur, Dinant and Tournai.
