Welcome to Belgium!
Belgium is a densely populated European country. It is the home of many crucial EU infrastructure. Thanks to its strategic position, Belgium plays an important role both in the European Union and in the world. The country is formally a federal constitutional monarchy.
While French is the dominant language, Belgium enjoys a duality in its native language-base. French and Dutch languages are intertwined in everyday life, with some regions preferring the first, and other ones the latter. English is still very well known in the region, so don’t worry!
