Spotlight – Belgium
Brussels is home to the European Union and NATO and with a super-fast train that speeds between Amsterdam and Paris, Belgium makes the perfect meeting spot for all of your meeting and event needs. Did you know, though, that Belgium is also an amazing spot for incentive travel?
Brussels lays claim to some of the world’s most stunning baroque architecture. The Grand-Place is considered one of the most gorgeous squares in the world, the museums and eating establishments line clean streets and for those who enjoy chocolate sin, there is an abundance of chocolate shops.
Belgium and beer also go hand-in-hand, which is a great incentive for anyone who would appreciate some of the world's finest brews. Of course, the reason for being in Belgium should not be forgotten. The Square, Brussels new modernist venue, offers 145,000 square feet of high-tech meeting space.
Bruges, a UNESCO city, which is a 1-hour train ride from Brussels, is idyllic, quiet and historic. Ghent, which is only 1/2-hour from Brussels, also offers a historic, almost medieval feel and caters to coffee and chocolate lovers.
If you haven’t considered Belgium as a venue for your next meeting or event, you may just want to take a look. It’s a country full of history, beauty and charm.
