Description: Presents a brief survey of Belgium's leading cities, each distinct from the other in historical background. Bruges is medieval in spirit with its canals, quaint streets, buildings, and its lace-making. At Ostend, there is the fishing fleet sailing out at dawn, and the pleasure steamers. Antwerp on the Scheldt is chiefly commercial, ranking as one of the most important ports of Europe. Brussels, the capital, is centrally located between the Flemish lowlands and the higher, French-speaking province. Liège with its industrial smoke and steam presents a more modern picture.
