Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Insight GD Belgium 4/E (Insight Guide Belgium) (Paperback)
We took this book with us on our vacation to Belgium several years ago, and enjoyed using it very much. It is easy to use and the pictures are wonderful (especially when trying to orient yourself). The guide has a lot of historical and cultural notes, which made for fascinating reading on a bus or train to our next destination. Highly recommended.
