Belgium is Europe in a word, with 35 World Heritage sites. Do not be fooled by its size, however, Belgium has something for everyone: more than 200 museums, 300 art nouveau buildings in Brussels, 650 different styles of beer and more than 2,000 chocolate shops! It is one of six founding members of the European Union which it receives in its capital Brussels, the main institutions (the European Council, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission), as well as other international organizations such as NATO, Eurocontrol and the ACP. It is surrounded by the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, France and the North Sea. Belgium is a constitutional monarchy whose king is Philippe, the seventh king of the Belgians, since 2013.
