Belgium

Old photos of Belgium offer a fascinating glimpse into the country's diverse cultural heritage.

Belgium is a small, multilingual country in Western Europe, home to around 11 million people. It has a long and complex history, having been invaded and occupied by various European powers over the centuries. Today, it is known for its beautiful architecture, delicious chocolate and waffles, and its production of some of the world's best beers.

Belgians are friendly and diverse, blending Flemish and Walloon (French speaking people) cultures with a love of good food and drink, including dishes like moules-frites and stoofvlees, and celebrating cultural festivals such as the Carnaval de Binche and Tomorrowland.
