most central EU cities.
Known worldwide for its waffles,
chocolate and lace, Belgium has many quaint
medieval towns, ancient town squares, and
exquisite cuisine. Official languages are
French & Flemish. English is widely spoken
so it is easy to get around in your native
tongue.
Brugge, where the surgery takes place is a
beautiful medieval city, a 1 hr train journey
from Brussels, the capital, see
