Belgium
Culture in Belgium
Belgium consists of the main cultural communities of the French-speakers of Brussels and Wallonia, as well as the Flemish, and play a significant role in Western European culture. Belgian culture also includes such ethnic minorities as the Jewish community, which has greatly influenced Flemish culture, in particular Antwerp for over 500 years.
Belgian Food
One of the joys of a Belgium vacation is trying the Belgian food. Restaurants in Belgium are known for offering some succulent meals, and though the food in Belgium is heavily influenced by French tendencies, the country manages to inject its own flavors.
Education in Belgium
Education enjoys high priority, and the largest share of the regional governments’ annual budget in Belgium. Complete systems of public and private schools are available to all children between the ages of 4 and 18, at little or no cost. A 'Creche Kinderdagverblijf plaats” is available for younger children.
