Belgium: Bruges and Brussels
Rick Steves' Europe: Episode # 307
Belgium is a land of contrasts. From the powerhouse headquarters of the European Union and Europe's grandest square in big-city Brussels, we go quaint with delicate lace and back lane bike rides in small-town Bruges. We check into a medieval hospital, savor the exquisite art of Memling, and climb a bell tower to get up close and fortissimo at a carillon concert. Then passionate chefs — creators of French fries and Europe's finest chocolate — give us a taste of their art.
