Belgium

Belgium is a small country, divided into Dutch-speaking Flanders in the North and French-speaking Wallonia in the south. Despite its small size, Belgium is important due to its administrative role in the EU and NATO. Our trip to Belgium focuses on Brussels.

Free Time

In your free time, if the history of past programs is a guide, you will be eating.

Belgium is home to a large array of temptations, including dark chocolates, decadent waffles, fruity Belgian beers and delicious moules frites

Few can resist all of the above.
