Quick Getaways: Belgium: A Sweet Getaway

London, one of the world's top destinations, is a city begging to be explored. Steeped in history, the well-known sites of Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Trafalgar Square beckon, or get a modern perspective from the top of the London Eye. This cosmopolitan city offers all the world cuisines you’re used to, but there are still places to find traditional British fare like bangers and mash or shepherds’ pie.

This popular beach resort draws thousands of Belgians and British daytrippers for its sun, sailing, surfing, and casino. As a busy ferry port for more than 150 years, Oostende also provides quick access to Bruges and Ghent, two of Belgium’s most attractive destinations.
