I want to spend a weekend somewhere outside Frankfurt. I just want to get either absolute peace and calm OR get to know new people. NTers, for example. Anyway. Not only do I want to escape from Fra, but I also want to escape from Germany. Thus was I thinking about Belgium..
Anyone could recommend me something to stare at or to experience anything in Belgium? Ostend, I have heard, is really calm and peacefull. Crabmeister, I have seen, is a total freak :)))
Anyone?ps. If you think, that there are other places to see in Europe (that trip should happen in the next 2 weeks), tell me!

hey, 4cy (2cy? 3cy? :)) ), I would go to Holland, den Haag, but I've been to Groningen like two weeks ago, so - Holland will wait.
Anwerp, you say.. I need to know about accommodation and stuff, you know. Like, how much do I spend there and what so I see, except for, well, the NTers gang :)

Brugge
and find the Straffe Hendrik brewery, take the tour and have the best beer (i've ever tasted)

popovich,
if you want to relax, Brugge is a very pretty mellow little city with tons of nice little stores. If you can, taste the chocolate and the waffles. For me, at least, it was something incredible (hard to find the same in America). But after a couple of days in Brugge you may get bored.
Brussels has some good museums, but other than that, I found the city just kinda ho-hum. People are pretty friendly in general. At least that was my experience.

I've been to Holland numerous times. Amsterdam - minimum 4 times. Den Haag, Groningen. All over as a weekend trip on wheels :) I mean, cars.... I love the country. London -2 times. Nottingham. Leicester.
The Alps, but not Vienna or Bern.
Barcelona, OFFF No.1. Budapest, Berlin, Bordeaux. I feel like I have to use the B to its fll extent now. :))
Stoned. Yes.
Antwerp, Brussels, Brugge seem to be a good root. How do I find hotels/hostels/whatever? Any guidances?
Crab, cy, could we meet?

Benelux is righteous! Never had so much fun in my life than the 3 months I spent in that area as a young buck. Screwed around with many hot Belgian (Flemish-style) chicks. WOW! Great time, great food, good vino! ;) Frankfurt, pfft, that's like being in the USA.

That's my definite goal this year. Portugal & Ocean. I will do everything to get there this summer. And I'll save links ;)

Hey,
Here's my two euro cents worth of Belgian fun tourist facts!
Antwerp - cool city, a little bourgioues but tolerable. Lots of fashion orientated things to do. The girls are pretty here. The clubs are kickass.
If you are gonna hang out in Belgium you have no need to stay in one city, cos it's so small, you can hop on a train and check out Brussels, it only take 45 minutes to get there. Brussels is a special case. it's a wack city, doesnt look pretty at all on first site. I hated it when I first lived there, but it has a special charm, it's truly a unique, eccentric city. A must see.
I havent even seen Brugge yet, but you should see that. Apprently it's beuatiful there.Lisbon however is also the bomb! I went there last year. and really enjoyed it. It may be cheaper then Belgium too, and more exotic (belgium isnt that far away from frankfurt.
Of course I have to recommend Cape Town to, since I'm origianlly from south africa. Now thats thee ultimate holiday destination outright!
But if you come thru to lil belgium give us antwerp NTers a shout.
