Aside from the five historic sister
cities of Antwerp, Bruges, Ghent, Leuven and Mechelen,
Flanders is filled with coastal resort towns,
quaint villages and off-the-beaten-track experiences
for you to explore.
With
a spectacular Gothic Town Hall, it is the
center of the late medieval art of tapestry-making.
Be sure to visit the Huis de Lalaing, where
the Oudenaarde tapestries are kept and restored.
The
oldest city in Belgium dates back to Roman
times. Every Sunday the city hosts the biggest
weekly antiques and collector's market in
the Benelux area.
