Just a few miles from France or Germany, is the country of Belgium. Home to the European Union and NATO, this is considered to be one of the smallest yet industrialized nation in Western Europe.
People can take a train from either France or Germany to see this small country. In a day or two, visitors will be able to visit the various cathedrals, medieval cities and castles that are still there today. The tourists will also be enjoy the good food, beer and chocolate that this place is known for.
Here are some examples of these places.
The first is the Royal Museum of Ancient and Modern Art, which has collections of various paintings and art work. The person can join the tour or go about this place to be able to appreciate everything at a leisurely pace.
Those who love dinosaurs and see fossil remains of those dating back more than a million years ago can check out the exhibits at the Museum of Natural History. If the prehistoric remains are no the person’s cup of tea, perhaps Autoworld will be much better appreciated since it features a collection of cars both old and new from different countries around the world.
The one thing the person will notice about Belgium is the architecture. Not all of the buildings are the same and this variety will astound anyone who is walking through the streets.
The most well known style of architecture in Belgium is known as the Art Nouveau. Here, people will see the different homes that will tell if this part of the city is for the high class, those in the middle and the lower class.
