Travel Guide to Belgium

Belgium has lots to offer the visitor but is not a major tourist destination. Most visitors head for Brussels first - see Brussels page. Most of Belgium is low lying with the only hills being towards the Ardennes area in the south. Ostend lies on the North Sea coast but this a port rather than a resort.
