Elect's take

"Belgium is one of the most underrated countries in Europe. The quality of food, beer and architecture rivals anywhere on the continent and the cities are genuinely beautiful in ways many visitors do not anticipate."

Bruges is one of the best preserved medieval cities in Europe. The combination of Gothic architecture, canal reflections and cobblestone streets is genuinely magical early morning before day visitors arrive. Brussels is more complex and rewarding than its reputation suggests with the Grand Place being one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. Belgian food is outstanding. Ghent has developed into one of Europe's most exciting food cities while retaining its historic character.
