Belgium Cruise Deals

Belgium has been independent for less than 200 years. Many of its cities are a great deal older; Bruges, the main port of call for cruises that visit Belgium, has existed as a city since the 12th century. Bruges is the definition of a charming European city, with its city centre criss-crossed with picturesque canals and medieval buildings. The capital city of Brussels is just as old as Bruges, although in some districts it has a more contemporary feel. Belgium is famous for its chocolate and some chocolatiers offer tasting sessions. Another famous product is Belgian lace, with its intricate patterns and exquisite workmanship. There are bustling open-air markets all over the city, with the largest being the weekend Anderlecht district market. Brussels is at its best during the summer while in Bruges it’s best to be prepared for unexpected rain.
