| PRIVATE TOURS IN Belgium | | Furnished medieval castles tour - The River Meuse FURNISHED MEDIEVAL CASTLES TOUR This tour is one of our favorites! Surprise . . | | Bruges guided tour : peaceful canals and graceful swans - Brugge, city in north-western Belgium, capital of West Flanders Province, near the port of Oostende, home to Europe's best-preserved medieval buildings. Bruges is Belgium's most visited town. | | Holland windmills & dykes - Zuiderzee In this tour we marvel the Zuiderzee which originally was a huge sea lagoon created by successive floods in the past two millennia. Its 300km long shore was under constant threat of flood and following disastrous floods just before the First World War, the lake was cut off from the North Sea in the north-west of the Netherlands by the construction of the Afsluitdijk. | | Antwerp tour - A hive of creative activity, one of Europe’s great ports and a diamond centre of world importance, Belgium’s second city is still in many ways a Typical old Flemish town. It is a sheer pleasure to wander along the narrow streets or throught the spacious squares, where old buildings, theatres, smart shops and boutiques, fashionable restaurants and art galleries give the city an irrestible charm. | | Ghent guided tour : fascinating and vivid! - South-west of Antwerp, Ghent was once a medieval-era power-house due to its 14th-century status as the largest cloth producer in Europe, and its rebellious nature when it came to tax increases. During the Ghent guided tour you will learned that now the capital of the Flanders province of Oost-Vlaanderen, it is home to a significant student population. | | See all private and personal tours in Belgium |

Belgium became independent from the Netherlands in 1830 and was occupied by Germany during World Wars I and II. It has prospered in the past half century as a modern, technologically advanced European state and member of NATO and the EU. Tensions between the Dutch-speaking Flemings of the north and the French-speaking Walloons of the south have led in recent years to constitutional amendments granting these regions formal recognition and autonomy.
CLIMATE OF Belgium: temperate; mild winters, cool summers; rainy, humid, cloudy
RELIGION OF Belgium: Roman Catholic 75%, Protestant or other 25%
POPULATION OF Belgium: 10,348,276 (July 2004 est.)
ECONOMY OVERVIEW OF Belgium: This modern private enterprise economy has capitalized on its central geographic location, highly developed transport network, and diversified industrial and commercial base. Industry is concentrated mainly in the populous Flemish area in the north. With few natural resources, Belgium must import substantial quantities of raw materials and export a large volume of manufactures, making its economy unusually dependent on the state of world markets. Roughly three-quarters of its trade is with other EU countries. Public debt is about 100% of GDP, and the government has succeeded in balancing its budget. Belgium, together with 11 of its EU partners, began circulating the euro currency in January 2002. Economic growth in 2001-03 dropped sharply because of the global economic slowdown. Prospects for 2004 again depend largely on recovery in the EU and the US.
