Location Of Belgium

Airports
There are 4 international airports in Belgium. One of them is in Brussels and you can get there by means of bus, car, taxi or train.

Language
Flemish and French are the official languages. French is slightly less widely spoken than Flemish. German is spoken, but is not classed as an official language as less than one percent speak it.

Places To Go
Belgium has a lot going for it. Its capital, Brussels, and the string of other engaging cities in Bruges, Ghent and Liege offer impressive architecture, lively nightlife, first rate cuisine and numerous other attractions for tourists. There is also the reinvented Antwerp, now a hotbed of fashion and modern design, and the more bucolic charms of the mountainous Ardennes region to the east, as well as the sweeping sand of the coastline resorts of the north-western sea coast.
