About Belgium
Belgium packs remarkable variety into a small corner of Western Europe, straddling the divide between the continent's Germanic and Latin cultures. Brussels, its capital, doubles as the administrative heart of the European Union, while Bruges, Ghent, and Antwerp preserve medieval trading splendor. Renowned for chocolate, waffles, and comic-strip heroes like Tintin, Belgium also gave the world hundreds of distinctive beers.
- Belgium has three official languages: Dutch, French, and German.
- The word 'spa' comes from the Belgian town of Spa, famous for its mineral springs since the Middle Ages.
- The saxophone was invented by Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax in the 1840s.
