Located in northwestern Europe, right between France, the Netherlands and Germany, Belgium is one of Europe’s most diverse nations. Its capital is Brussels that is also the official capital of the European Union and the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

With a population of roughly 10 million people and the size similar to that of Maryland, this small nation prides itself in its cultural, ethnic and linguistic diversity. Formally, a federal parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy, Belgium is spilt in 10 provinces and 3 regions: Brussels, Flanders (the Dutch speaking region) and Wallonia (the French and German speaking region).

The official languages spoken in Belgium are French, Dutch and German, but due to its international exposure, English has become the 4th spoken language in Belgium, which for any tourist can only be welcoming news. Its diversity is the result of thousands of years of complex historical events that have shaped this small country into an eclectic cultural and linguistic mix, which is able to impress anyone with its diverse and cosmopolitan environment.
