Belgium Travel Information


Belgium Flag The Kingdom of Belgium is a country in Northwest Europe. The country has land borders with France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, as well as a short coastline on North Sea. In terms of topography, the country can be divided into three main regions: a coastal region (consisting mostly of sand dunes as well ad land reclaimed from the sea and protected by dykes known as "polders"), a central plateau in the middle of the country which contains the most fertile agricultural land in the country, and, in the extreme South, an area known as the Ardennes (which also extends into France and Germany), which is rugged rocky plateau covered with thick forests.

The largest city in Belgium is the capital, Brussels. Other major cities include Antwerp, Bruges, Charleroi, Ghent, Liege and Namur. Over all, Belgium has a population of around 10.5 million people (as of 2005), and is one of the most densely population countries in Europe, with more than 97% of the population living in urban areas.

Belgium has a rich and developed economy, and has high exports per capita. It was the first country in mainland Europe to begin industrializing, and is a founder member of the European Union, as well as home to many EU, NATO and European institutions.
