It was the best trip to Europe I've ever made. First, let me give you five (or six, or seven) really good reasons to go to Belgium and Luxembourg.1) Since they are somewhat off the beaten path (with the possible exception of Brugge (Bruges), in Flanders), they're cheap. You can get top quality accommodations, food, and beer for about half what you would expect to pay for similar quality in Paris, Cologne or Amsterdam.2) If well-preserved, but still functioning, medieval towns are your thing, consider this for a moment: Antwerp, Brugge, Ghent, Namur, Mechelen, Leuven, Tournai. Any questions?3) The best beer on earth, period.4) Small enough to get anywhere within two hours, and entirely realistic to tour on a bicycle.5) More linguistic, cultural, artistic and geographic diversity crammed into a small space than any other country in the world. You get Dutch, French, German, and maybe even a little Spanish.6) A courteous and helpful service ethic. Belgians love tourists! And I love Belgium!7) Jacques Brel. If you don't know, make it a point to discover him while you're there.And, of course, there are also five good reasons to buy this guide rather than other guides.1) Essential historical, cultural and literary contexts that explain these small countries' somewhat confusing, multi-ethnic histories.2) Encyclopedic coverage of all the cities, towns and important natural sites, including insightful historic and practical information.3) Immediately up-to-date listings. Be sure to buy the most recent edition.4) More substance than style. Rough Guides are intentionally that way.5) A "not to miss" section that is well researched and looks beyond the obvious.With mighty Brugge right next door, I still think incredible Ghent gets the short end of the stick. Some of the writing is a bit stale in this regard. For me, the hoards of tourists in Brugge make the experience in Ghent that much more authentic. There's nothing like falling into a Ghent pub at about 4:30PM for a Duvel, and staying on until you forget where you are. It's awesome. The same goes for "so-beautiful-it-hurts" Tournai, in Hainaut.If you don't buy the book, go anyway. And if you go to Belgium and spend all your time in Brussels, shame on you:) ### ⭐⭐⭐ Partially good *by F***K on Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2010* The review of the sights were good. There, however, was no warning that the streets can be dangerous. During the first hour we were there and checking into our room, in broad daylight (around 6 PM), the car window in our rent a car was broken, and our 2 suitcases were stolen. The police would not even come, and we had to walk to the nearest precinct to report it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great guide to Belgium *by V***C on Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2013* I traveled to Belgium (Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Brussels) for a week in October of 2013 using the 5th edition. Aside from the cost of things going up, all of the information we relied on was still spot-on. The Rough Guide is one of the few publishers that dedicates an entire book to Belgium, and that alone makes this handy for a trip to the country. The introductory sections are nice for gaining a quick historical and cultural perspective in the area that you're in. As is the case with all Rough Guides, they do an excellent job of describing the main tourist attractions AND suggesting off-the-beaten-tourist-path sites. The maps are small which makes it slightly challenging to navigate the medieval layout of most cities. At the very least it can get you to the tourist information offices where complementary and detailed maps can be had. Whether you're interested in checking sights off a list or if you actually want to dive deeper to explore Belgium, this book is a fantastic resource. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1696610-the-rough-guide-to-belgium-and-luxembourg-paperback-may-30](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1696610-the-rough-guide-to-belgium-and-luxembourg-paperback-may-30) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
