Not yet.

But I'd like to visit Brussels/Bruxelles. :)

Which is, in your opinion the most beautiful city of Belgium?

^^ In my opinion, Antwerp is the most beautiful city of Belgium ! There is a very beautiful cathedral (the highest of the Benelux, 123m!), shopping facilities, a very beautiful railway station (Antwerpen-Centraal), ...
Brussels is also very beautiful. It's also the most interesting city of Belgium (and the capital) with very great and beautiful buildings (like the Palace of Justice (the 2nd largest building of the 19th century in Europe !), The ''Grote Markt'' (the most beautiful market place of the world), the Royal palace, ...)
If you want, you can take a look at the Belgian forum. There you can find many pictures of Antwerp, Brussels, ... :)

Je suis ete dans le Belgique beaucoup de fois et Je croix que Il-y-a des 3 belle ville aussie las bas. Probablement la plus interessante est Bruges sur toutes. Cette petite ville est encroyable. La capitale c'est jolie...la grand place e le quartier central...les nouveaux sont magnifique, mais ça est la modernite de la Ville

I've been to Antwerp, and I liked it. Brussels sucks though.

I know Santiago Calatrava has designed the new Liege railway station, isn't it?

It's an amazing project!!! I love it definitely!!!

I have been in Bruxelles, I thought it was better. There are only the Grand place and those little Manneken pis. :cheers:

once, and i think it's enough

How is the weather in theese weeks? i mean... what do you wear in belgium right now?

^^ now, we wear a sweater/a coat and a pair of trousers. For the moment, it's 17 degrees in Belgium ! It was a very bad summer in Belgium this year !

I've been in Bruges! One of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen

I have been in Bruxelles, Ghent, Anverse (Antwerp), Brugge. I love Ghent, very nice city!

3 day in Brussels and Antwerp

Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp and Liege

I've been twice to Brugge and Gent, and once to Antwerpen and Brussel. The first 2 are really some of the most beautiful towns in Europe and Antwerpen is really a beautiful city too. I was not impressed by Brussel at all, but I spent there too little time to judge it...

Very bad summer through Northwestern Europe this year... even Spain was cooler than average years... Only southeastern Europe had a really hot summer this year.

This week and until at least mid september the weather in Belgium will be :

partly coudy, minimum 12, maximum 20-21. Not that bad, but quite cool for the season.

It doesn't surprise me that Italians prefer Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp (mostly in that order) above Brussels.

Bruxelles(very nice),Charleroi(not good),La Louviere(a small a quiet town)
I liked the beers(the best in the world)and the girls(very beautiful)
:cheers:

I love Bruges!

Belgium? Italian queen!

I love Bruges!the most beautiful place I've ever been :okay:

J'ai visitè le pays trois fois, la première foi c'etait a 12 ans et j'ai prix un avion pour la première fois, je m'en rappelle très bien!
J'ai visité Bruxelles qui est une très belle ville, verte et avec des très belles architectures. (y compris l'Atomium biensur)
J'ai vu Anverse, Ostende et j'ai traversè le pays de Charleroi aux Pays Bas

Mais c'est Bruges qui m'à etonnè, ville magnifique!

Maintenant je suis en train de lire "L'Œuvre au noir" qui se deroule dans les fiandres... :)

^^ Ora sono cazzi! Ti sei rivolto ad un fiammingo in francese e hai pure chiamato Anversa, "Anvers". Se ti arriva una scatola di cioccolatini belgi da parte di un'ammiratrice/ammiratore segreta/o, offrine prima qualcuno a chi ti sta sulle balle. :)

Eh eh eh lo so, ma era una delle lingue previste era il francese ed io ne ho approfittato, anche perchè di Duch non so una parola ed il mio inglese....
E poi sono a dieta quindi niente cioccolatini :)

Been to the German speaking area of Belgium and found the scratched-out road signs rewritten in German very interesting. Saw Brussels and was disappointed in it: the Manneken Pis is a total tourist trap, the Grand Place was nice, and the EU quarter came across as being very cold, unhospitable, and not well integrated with the rest of the city. Furthermore, the highways in Belgium were the worst I have ever driven through in Europe (in huge contrast with the highways in the neighboring Netherlands).

Having said that, I have heard great things about Bruges and Antwerpen.

The Grand' Place is one of the most amazing squares in the world though! The first time I visited Brussels I was like:"What the fuck?". After many travels there, I must admit the city has a certain Je ne sais pas quoi.

I've been in brussel 3 years ago for a cuple of months and I have to admit, although is not a big city, has got a very good public transport system; I found the gran place a beautiful square but not so big as I expected...

about the EU quarter I egree with Urbane; it's so cold!

Does anybody know something about Leuven?

ci siete mai stati?

mi han detto che è carina!

In Belgium we say: '' Op Brussel word je niet van de eerste keer verliefd'' = You fall not in love with Brussels from the first time you visit the city ! :lol:
And I have to say that it's true. At the first time I visited Brussels I thought 'I never come back here!' and my second time 'oh, nice city', ...
And now I come once a month or even a week in Brussels !:)

Moi je n'ai jamais visité la Belgique.

Par contre j'ai des amis qui ont visité Bruxelles, Antwerp et Bruges et ils m'ont dit qu'il faut absolument que j'y aille!

..et j'irai, peut être pendant les vacances de Noël ou en avril!

I was in Antwerp for New Year's Eve. Actually I was in Amsterdam that period but since I had already lived that night in Amsterdam several times... I opted for a new one. So me and my friend decided to go elsewhere... she proposed Antwerp and so we did. I must admit I liked this town a lot... it was obviously overcrowded on Dec, 31st 2006 but I enjoyed it all the same... unfortunately it rained a lot just after the midnight... heavy showers obliged us to go back to the hotel earlier than I expected!

eh sì purtroppo quella notte lì è arrivata una grande tempesta. Hanno pure cancellato i fuochi d'artificio ufficiali - peccato.
