The Belgian golden generation has come and gone. Here they are pitted with one of the outsiders.
Belgium
What has Belgium got apart from beer, chocolate and moules et frites?
Having only visited Brussels many times on business, plus short breaks in Bruges & Antwerp, I am perhaps not best qualified to answer that question.
I have always found Brussels to be a little boring if I am honest. Even their most famous landmark, the Manneken Pis, is frankly underwhelming in my opinion.

Slovakia
I have only ever been to the capital Bratislava, twice for pleasure and once on business.
It is a pleasant city with a charming old town. Bratislava Castle is its main landmark, towering above the streets & houses high up on a hill.
