Belgium Travel Agent Specialist

In the autumn of 2015, I embarked on a magical trip to Belgium, a land renowned for its chocolate, beer, and picturesque medieval towns. Nestled in the heart of Europe, Belgium promised a journey through time, a culinary adventure, and a chance to revel in the warm hospitality of its people. This voyage was a passport to explore the wonders of this enchanting country.Chapter 1: Brussels - The Heart of Europe My journey commenced in the capital city of Brussels. The Grand Place, a UNESCO World Heritage site, left me breathless with its ornate architecture and opulent guildhalls. A visit to the Atomium, an iconic relic of the 1958 Brussels World's Fair, offered panoramic views of the city. Savoring decadent Belgian chocolates in the city that perfected them was a delicious start to my adventure.Chapter 2: The Allure of Bruges From Brussels, I traveled to Bruges, a fairy-tale town that seemed frozen in time. Cobblestone streets, medieval buildings, and serene canals created an atmosphere straight out of a storybook. I explored the historic Markt square, climbed the Belfry tower for panoramic views, and indulged in delectable waffles while strolling along romantic canals.Chapter 3: Ghent's Artistic Flair Ghent, another medieval gem, captivated me with its rich history and vibrant arts scene. The Ghent Altarpiece in Saint Bavo's Cathedral was a masterpiece that mesmerized art enthusiasts. Ghent's vibrant street art and contemporary cultural spaces, like the STAM Museum, added a modern twist to its historical charm.Chapter 4: Antwerp - The Diamond Capital Antwerp, known as the diamond capital of the world, dazzled with its elegant architecture and vibrant fashion scene. A visit to the Cathedral of Our Lady, with its towering spire and artistic treasures, was awe-inspiring. I explored the Diamond District, learning about the city's diamond trade, and savored Belgian fries at local friteries.Chapter 5: Beer and Culinary Delights No trip to Belgium is complete without tasting its world-famous beer. I toured Trappist breweries like Westvleteren and sampled a variety of brews, from fruity lambics to rich, dark abbey ales. Belgian cuisine, including hearty stews like carbonnade flamande and crispy frites with an array of sauces, was a gastronomic delight.Chapter 6: Natural Beauty in the Ardennes Heading south to the Ardennes region, I found myself surrounded by lush forests, rolling hills, and picturesque villages. Hiking through the Ardennes offered tranquility and breathtaking scenery. A visit to the charming town of Durbuy, known as the "smallest city in the world," added a touch of rustic charm to my journey.Conclusion: Belgium's Timeless Charms My trip to Belgium was a whimsical journey through a country that effortlessly blends history, culture, and culinary delights. As I bid farewell to this enchanting land, I carried with me memories of charming towns, decadent chocolates, and the warmth of the Belgian people. Belgium had left an indelible mark on my heart, a testament to its timeless allure and treasures waiting to be discovered.

Las Vegas Travel Agent Expert

As a Las Vegas travel agent advisor, I can tell you that no city buzzes 24 hours like Vegas. About 40 million people stream into the city annually. Many tourists spend time on the Strip, or the legendary 4-mile road that is also known as Las Vegas Boulevard. The street is home to character full casinos and large downtown resorts. However, Las Vegas is more than casinos, entertainment, and fine dining. The area is also home to beautiful canyons and exciting day trips to Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam and the west and south rims of the Grand Canyon. I can arrange a great itinerary for you - one that includes all the excitement that spells L-A-S V-E-G-A-S. While some travelers love to shop at the Forum Shops in Caesars Palace, others like to see the outskirts and desert scenery. For a short trip, I might suggest, as your travel agent, that you enjoy an alfresco lunch at Paris in Las Vegas or visit the Botanical Gardens in Bellagio. A ride by monorail to City Center is the way to go on a warm summer day. Also, don't forget to stroll by the fountains at Bellagio while en route to a Cirque du Soleil show. The excitement continues with a helicopter ride to Grand Canyon West and a visit on the Skywalk - a see-through platform that allows you to see down into the Canyon's depths. However, because the Strip makes Vegas such a compelling attraction, you will, in most instances, spend more time downtown. Downtown attractions include Caesars Palace, the Mirage, Las Vegas Flamingo, New-York-New York, Luxor, just to name a few. Las Vegas is not just the world's gambling capital, it also boasts entertainment, foods, and attractions galore! Foodies love this city as well. Some of the world's best chefs work in Vegas at exclusive venues, such as Serrano, Nobu, Scarpetta, and the Bouchon Bistro. Entertainment headliners include Celine Dion, Britney Spears, and Elton John. Beat the bank playing baccarat or place a bet at the roulette wheel. Both winning and losing can be fun when you visit the Vegas strip. Why travel abroad when you can see the city's themed architecture - from New York City to Paris to Venice to Egypt. Call me today and let me, as your Las Vegas travel agent advisor, arrange a once-in-a-lifetime Vegas holiday. Contact me by email or phone and I will pan a trip that will be unforgettable.
