Belgium

Often overlooked for its French, Dutch and German neighbors, Belgium has somehow managed to remain relatively under-the-radar, despite being one of Europe’s richest culture capitals—with an intoxicating blend of medieval and contemporary beauty, deeply influential design and fashion scenes and weighty historical sites like Waterloo, Ypres and Bastogne (plus, it’s a seat of the European Union). Layer in delights like chocolate, frites and beer, and you have a true treasure for the tasteful traveler.
