Belgium
Belgium’s most prolific heritages are its medieval town cores. It is home to several UNESCO sites, as well as cafes and bars. The museums and galleries displaying arts from the renaissance period unveil the history of European art.
Belgium has had a target painted on its back since at least the Roman times. It’s come under the path of invasion, and every time rose back from its ruins. As a result, Belgium has monuments honoring their fallen heroes and commemorating several events.
A lion statue built atop a cone-shaped hill overlooks the Waterloo battlefield where Napoleon was defeated. Similarly, tombstones laid until one’s eyes can see in Flanders Field commemorates the four years of hardship during WWI.
Upon draining the energy from visiting the monumental sites, prepare to indulge in the gastronomical bliss that Belgium is famous for. The consumables go far beyond the petite size of the country but are not aimed at catering to the weight-watchers.
The waffles are to die for while countless specialty shops sell the most luscious chocolates that money can buy. Also, watch out for the seafood that is paired with irresistible chips. To wash all the goodness down your throat, they also have a variety of Belgian brews.
