Belgium Hostels - Budget Accomodation in Belgium, Europe

It may be a little country, but it is a lovely one, so it is sad that Belgium is often overlooked when tourists and backpackers plan a trip to Europe. Tucked between the desirable and obvious attraction places of London, Paris and Amsterdam, Belgium is usually treated as a stepping stone to the English Channel, or, at most, a quick stop over for a look see in the capital, Brussels.

Beyond the city of Brussels with its historic Gothic buildings and tall European Union office blocks, is a treasure trove of undiscovered lazy seaside towns, and the inland wooded gorges of the splendid Ardennes, sprinkled with medieval castles and steeped in folklore. The medieval city of Bruges has character and charm galore with a rich architectural heritage, graceful canals, winding waterways and cobbled streets, and is a favourite with visitors. Belgium is a country that has inspired many artists and writers with the charm of its Gothic cathedrals, town halls, gabled guildhouses and rich museums.

After a busy day exploring it all, evenings are best spent experiencing Belgiums fantastic cuisine and delighting in the countrys variety of 300 odd brews of beer. Belgians have a reputation for their gracious hospitality, no doubt due in part to the countrys location, which has created an international crossroads for commerce and culture. Despite this, Belgium and its distinct regions of Flemish Flanders (north) and French Wallonia (south) has proudly preserved its traditions and identity.
