I've heard Brugge is nice but can anyone recommend other places too for a long weekend? Thanks!

If you can get to Ypres. This astonishing town was levelled during WW1 but Germany was made to rebuild it as it was, and the famous medieval Cloth Hall (now one of the most moving museum's in the world) looks as if it's been there for centuries.
The shops and cafes are really good and each evening, as they have since the signing of the armistice, the fire-brigade play last post at the Menim gate, whose arches contain the names of thousands of the lost generation. The whole place comes to a standstill as traffic stops and the gathered contemplate the futility of war.
May favourite European city after my own. It's ageless, timeless - an astonishing and awe inspiring place that fills you wit the Joy of being alive.
Good wishes.

Hi Russ, my boyfriend has just come back from Belgium, and when he went he visited a place called Antwerp. He is a huge football nut an loves a good time, and he and his football mates have been here twice already this year and they enjoyed the party atmosphere so much they are going back again in October. Hope this helps.

Antwerpe is a great place to visit, with Gent just up the road for an day/afternoon it's ideal if you like museums, horse and cart tours etc. Lovely shops, markets and cafes. I don't think you can really go wrong anywhere in Belgium though to be honest. Enjoy :)

definite, each and all of the MPs are back after their long summer season wreck. Even people who've been fiddling their expenses. So no longer lots has replaced. this variety of pity that they have not been ousted. and those that retire will nevertheless get their pensions, regardless of they have finished. Others have made purposes for the homestead of Lords. Appointments are agreed by using the PM. The final Speaker have been given into the Lords very immediately, regardless of the reality that he grow to be thrown out of the Commons as Speaker. perchance his spouse have been given a taxi on expenses to do her procuring, and then visited the Lords to observe her husband taking his vows. the present Speaker has refused to look into the MPs who've flipped their residences. might desire to this be because of the fact the Speaker has flipped his homestead two times?

Loads to do and see and a long history of culture etc.
They also do some remarkably good beers! (Oh, and chocolate)
Ghent is good
Antwerp awesome
Brussels brilliant.
It's up to you really..
Have a good time.

go and see the seaside if you like water or go to the 'Ardennes' in the south if you prefer walking in the forests. If you prefer city trips, just go and visit Tournai, Bruges or Gand which are 3 great cities ...
