Belgium may be compact, but it offers a surprising variety of experiences shaped by centuries of shifting borders, artistic innovation, and culinary tradition. In Brussels, the Grand Place sets the stage for history and architecture in one square lined with ornate guild halls. The city is also home to the European Union’s headquarters, surrealist painter René Magritte’s former house, and a lively comic book trail that winds through murals of Tintin and other Belgian icons.
The Old Canary Country is the island with the longest coast line, offering wide plains, gentle valleys, and huge beaches. Some of its beaches compare with the best in the world.
Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, is a remote gem in the southeastern Pacific Ocean that promises an extraordinary journey into the mysteries of Polynesian culture and history. Famous for its monumental stone statues known as moai, Easter Island captivates visitors with its enigmatic past. These colossal statues, crafted between 1400 and 1650 AD, are scattered across the island and are a testament to the islanders' sophisticated artistry and social organization.
