Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Fodor's Belgium
Fodor's · 2004
60/100
👎 Skip It
At the time of publication this was a thorough, locally-sourced guide to a genuinely underrated destination, and the Fodor's brand guarantees a certain professional standard. The problem is that 2004 hotel and restaurant recommendations are actively misleading for a traveler today, and every practical logistics detail has been superseded by digital sources. It remains a pleasant historical read about Belgium's cultural attractions but fails as a functional travel tool.
