Belgium Explained!

Get ready to be swept away on an adventure through Belgium, the country that's so much more than just waffles and chocolate!

From being the birthplace of French fries and the "smurfs" to being home to the smallest city in the world (and no, it's not the smurf village!), Belgium is a country of fascinating contrasts.

You'll be introduced to the land of the Belgian red devils, music festivals, an astronomical number of beer varieties, high taxes, and the famous peeing boy statue. So buckle up, because this is one ride you don't want to miss!

Discover the fascinating history of this tiny but mighty country, from its roots in the "Low Countries" to the thriving metropolis it is today. From the mysterious disappearance of the Omalians to the development of the country's complex structure, you'll learn why Belgium is a unique blend of cultures and languages, making it a truly one-of-a-kind destination.

You'll marvel at the intricate political system, which includes communities, regions, and a federal state, all working together in perfect harmony. You'll be amazed at the diversity of the country, with 10 provinces and 581 municipal councils, each with its own character and charm.

And let's not forget the monarchy! Yes, Belgium has a King and Queen, but their role is more symbolic these days. And, of course, the country uses the Euro, which was created by a Belgian!
