This is a complex country with multi language, personality and culture, with French, Dutch and German influences.<\/font><\/p>\n

Of course, it is synonymous with waffles, French fries, chocolate and beers. But it is also a very cultural destination with cities such as Bruges, Brussels, Liege and Antwerp, to name just a few. \u00a0<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Germany<\/span><\/h1>\n

Explore the New Berlin: Since reunification, civic planners have <\/span>demolished large sections of what once stood as a scar across the face of a defeated nation. <\/span><\/p>\n

The architectural changes and urban developments that constantly update the cityscape around Berlin’s Friedrichstrasse and Potsdamer Platz can be confusing. But regardless of which renewal program is churning up rubble at the time of your visit, a pilgrimage through what used to be the most bitterly contested urban turf in Europe can’t help but provoke powerful emotions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
