Belgium – A Country of Culture and Diversity
Belgium, located in the heart of Europe, is known for its cultural diversity, medieval cities, and delicious cuisine. The country is divided into three regions: Flanders in the north, Wallonia in the south, and the capital region, Brussels. Belgium is famous for its chocolate, waffles, fries, and, of course, its beer. Cities like Bruges, Ghent, and Brussels offer a blend of historical architecture and modern attractions. As the headquarters of the European Union and NATO, Belgium also plays an important political role.
A tour of Leuven offers many surprises - small as well as big. Of course, the town hall on the Great Market is impressive and is one of the most beautiful late Gothic buildings in Europe. It is decorated with hundreds of figures depicting biblical scenes as well as scholars and important figures in Louvain's history. It was built from 1439 to 1468 and stands directly opposite the St. Peter's Church.
