Belgium!

[Malika Fantasy]

I'm going to be in London (UK) at the end of September for an event. I have the mentally well if I am in Europe, may as well do the most out of it.

I had plans to go to North Africa, but flights are crazy expensive..

Looking at the Eurostar, the train is quite affordable to go to Belgium. I've only spent a day in Brussels years ago and it wasn't enough.

I'm looking mostly at Bruges, Anterwep and Brussels. Maybe Liege. Really open to other cities if it's accessible by train as I don't drive

Let me know what is worth seeing in Belgium

Bruges is an amazing medieval city which had strong ties to England, those lovely medieval buildings were constructed on the backs of English sheep. Also the birthplace of the First or Grenadier Guards in 1656.

If you are in Brussels, go see the Waterloo Battlefield, although the construction of the Lion Monument significantly altered the topography of the battlefield. Also what about Ypres?

Have you been to Paris? Yes, I know it's not Belgium.

I love the trains in Europe. If you have time to spend a few days in Paris and a few more in Amsterdam, the train trips are worth it.

I've never quite spent some time in Belgium hence me asking for reco

The end of September is when there are very few tourist in Europe. Prices for flights and Hotels are down at that time. Try getting tour packages, there should be a few bargains at that time. Last minute is best there is plenty in September and dirt cheap because they have to fill slots.

The train out of there.

...sorry, couldn't resist. Personally I found Belgium boring as fuck and overpriced. If you're trucking about Euroland, there are prettier and funner places to see.
