Cycle through fields carpeted with tulips, taste the local produce, float along the canals or soak up the history from the Flemish, medieval and baroque eras.
The quiet neighbours speak volumes through their history, architecture and warm nature of the people. Two countries steeped in a maritime past that are sure to please.
