Belgium Vacation

[Ice]

Hello all,

I'm going to Europe this summer around June 17 and I am staying in Belgium for two weeks. I'll be staying in Aalst for some of the trip and Ertvelde for some of the trip as well (just as bases for sleeping).

I also wondered if there were specific sites anyone knew of that would be interesting to see? I want to see a lot of World War II sites, but other sites would be nice too. Medieval times, under Spanish rule, castles etc. would be great.

Thanks for the tips!

I'd recommend Bruge, a city in the northern part of the country, for a couple of reasons:

1) It has some killer medieval architecture

2) It's a short train ride away from the beach (I forget the town... starts with a B)

Also, check out the war museum in Brussels. I was blown away by how much awesome stuff they have.
