I’m 17 and I went to Europe last summer. I’m not sure what hotels to pick, but definitely go to Bastogne. It’s a great historical place to visit
Go to Ghent. It’s a lovely city and the Belgians are nice people but as thick as 2 short planks.
Brugges and Antwerp are also quite pleasant and very old and beautiful
Enjoy!
The historical cities are very interesting.
Most popular is Brugge http://www.pandhotel.com/sightse.htm
Gent http://www.pandhotel.com/gente.htm and Antwerpen http://www.pandhotel.com/antwerpe.htm have also very nice historical buildings and very interesting museums.
The capital Brussels is famous for its marketplace, the small statue of Manneken Pis and the Atomium building. http://www.pandhotel.com/brusselse.htm
If you are interested in the history of World War I you must go to the Westhoek area around the city of Ypres (Ieper) http://www.pandhotel.com/iepere.htm
Bruges – a Must. Be it for only 2 hours. Then you’ll have seen everything.
Ghent – very nice, especially on a sunny day. Nice bars, studentesque atmosphere
Antwerp – great for going out and eating. Nicest city of them all.
Brussels – good for an afternoon. Great around the Grand Place.
Good restaurants and bars all over the place.
Brugge has a very good website: http://www.brugge.be/internet/en/index.htm and the bits that are important for tourist are in English
Take a ride on a horse and cart, take a boat along the canals, buy chocolate in one of the countless chocolate shops. Climb the Belfry, on Saturdays there is a general market on ‘t Zand, one area of it is food, closest you will get to real Belgian fare. There used to be an artisan sweetshop in Mariastraat that makes his own sweets which is fascinating to watch. I say used to be because it’s been ages since I walked past there.
Brugge is a lovely place to gawk at middle age architecture, lots of museums.
Not quite a restaurant but check out the Hema cafeteria in Steenstraat for an affordable pit-stop. Getting a seat at the window is a struggle though
There’s Boudewijnpark, a local theme park with a dolphinarium that has daily shows a bus ride away.
Hire a bike and take a cycle to Sluis in Holland if the weather is nice, Sluis in itself is a pretty little town and it has the only Belfry in NL. There’s lots of other cycling to do too, you can get cycle maps per area. Check out the one for ‘Brugse Ommeland’ for info on cycling and walking activities: http://www.brugseommeland.be/bol/index.aspx?&LangType=1033
There’s tonnes of hotels in Brugge and I’ve never been in a position that I have had to stay in one. If you are young, free and backpacker type check out Snuffel http://www.snuffel.be/index.html Some friends thought it was good value for money for their short stay.

For a car park with central location try Novotel, the coaches keep unloading so they must be doing something right
