When it comes to traveling to new found places I always like to look at a few online guides beforehand. These guides are nice because they include everything from the location description to best restaurants to eat at to best places to stay and best activities to do while you are there. I think that this is a good option to go with because it gives you a nice idea about the place before you actually visit it. Heck you could even build your trip around these guides to decide where you want to go and stay and where you don't want to go. Most of these guides are pretty straight up and honest. They also give you tips about the location such as weather and suggested places to visit. Lets take a look at a few places from Belgium:
Lively Antwerp is a hidden gem. Its medieval streets, Renaissance monuments and vibrant nightlife tend to be overshadowed by its reputation as center of the diamond trade and as the world's fifth-largest port. Biking is a popular choice for getting around this stylish Flemish city. See thousands of Old Masters at the Royal Museum and Rubens House. Experience the bustle of life at the Grote Market. Marvel at the art and architecture of the still unfinished Cathedral of Our Lady, started in 1351. Top rated attractions include: Grote Market, Museum Mayer van den Bergh, De kookwinkel Soly. Top rated restaurants include: Hippodroom and Fuji San!
Once a 13th-century cloth making center, Brugge, or Bruges, may have become a major tourist destination, but its wealth of wandering canals and ornate houses, plus the city's medieval charm, remains. The historic center's pedestrian-only streets bristle with Gothic spires and flourishes. Friendly residents of the West Flanders capital impress visitors with their enthusiasm to show their city's sights, such as the superb Groeninge Museum, Church of Our Lady and the Belfry and Market Halls.
Best attractions: Quasimundo Bike Tours, The English Theatre of Bruges, Belfry (Belfort) and Market Halls (Hallen), Groeninge Museum and Memling in Sint-Jan Hospitaalmuseum. Top rated restaurants include: Pieter Pourbus, De Karmeliet, De Pepermolen, and Den Dijver. Unassuming Brussels is the capital of Belgium, Flanders and Europe. Medieval Grand-Place, is indeed grand, with many 17th-century buildings and daily flower markets. Reopened in 2006, the Atomium, Brussels' Eiffel Tower, provides great views, inside and out. Architecture fans should visit Musee Horta, home of Belgian master architect Victor Horta. St. Gery's clubs and bars are packed year-round.
Seafood eateries abound in Ste. Catherine. Walk, rather than get snarled up in traffic, in the narrow streets. Best attractions: Brussels Bike Tours, Delirium, St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral (Cathedrale St-Michel et Ste-Gudule). best restairants include: Flaneries gourmandes, Bar Bik, and le fourneau. Also included are photos if of each location from different people that have visited along with hotels. These guides aren't usually JUST guides. Usually they are also a place where you can book hotels, rent cars, and buy airline tickets as well.
You can do all of this separately or as a package and you can also take a look at some of the cruise information as well! Remember ordering packages is always going to be cheaper and more organized time wise. So this is a good option to look at if you want to save money and save time!
