Belgium Culture, Geography and History
Geography and Environment of Belgium
Sharing borders with France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, Belgium is strategically placed near many of Western Europe's capital cities. Featuring relatively flat terrain, Belgium has a mixture of fertile plains and valleys, and rugged forested areas. With a small strip of coastline along the North Sea, international travellers often forget that Belgium has sandy beaches, with the Flanders coast being well-frequented by local and European holidaymakers.
