Remember the Name
A new month has come, but you still haven’t thought of a better place to travel to? After spending weeks and weeks of choosing, you still haven’t made up your mind? Then think of this issue as heaven sent because LaIsla will help you decide.
If there’s any place that deserves to be hailed for giving each of its tourists a good time, it’s Belgium. One of the Low Countries bordering the North Sea of Western Europe, Belgium is known for its mixture of rich aesthetic and cultural heritage from the prevalent Dutch-speaking nation of Flanders and the French-speaking nation of Wallonia. These two cultures is said to have such great influence to the country’s lifestyle that up until now, similar activities are still observed by the locals.
Join the throng of tourists as they head to Brussels, the capital of Belgium and also its largest city. Witness the city’s eye-catching Flower carpet located in the Grand Place. Set every two years at the center of the landmark, the Flower carpet is a blend of colorful Begonias arranged in beautiful patterns. The historic Town Hall of the city is also located in the Grand Place. Another attraction worth seeing in Brussels is the majestic Royal Palace built as the official residence of the King and Queen of the Belgians.
After visiting the capital, take a boat ride in the Ghent Canal as it lets you see the downtown houses set in a vintage style. While in town, also visit the Saint Bavo Cathedral known for its peculiar style and structure. After roaming around Ghent, hop to Antwerp, a city famous for the Mas Museum. Artworks inside the building mainly depict themes of the metropolis, sovereignty, life, and death.
Lastly, pay homage in the Triumphal Arch, which was built in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of Belgian Independence. The Arch and its surrounding structures are made up of iron, glass, and stone to represent the growing economic and industrial achievements of Belgium.
So what are you waiting for? Fly to Belgium now for a refreshing adventure. Spectacular views await the passionate globetrotter who deserves a magical moment he can call his own. Remember the name; it’s Belgium.
