Review of Adinkerke, Belgium by
marbutt
I remember the days it was known as the good old corridoor and was one of the main boarders,it has been made very atractive and to me still a very pleasing place to be, i would like to say that the shops are not Duty free, duty is paid on all products but the Belgium TAX is far less than us unfortunate British.

Coo! Plop! - Family Fun in the Ardennes
Review of Plopsa Coo, Stavelot, Belgium by
lobourse
Advantages: Good range of rides, beautiful setting, cheap all-in ticket
Disadvantages: Horrendous food prices, frustration for children shorter than 1m tall

A beautiful medievil city with a young heart.
Review of Louvain (Belgium) by
sibod
Advantages: Cheap, plenty of bars, good selection of resteraunts, historic city
Disadvantages: Students, busy main street, not ideal for tourism (yet).
