Belgium Flemish Geraardsbergen

België (Belgique) - Geraardsbergen (Grammont) by Antonio Ponte

One of the oldest cities in Belgium, Geraardsbergen is known for its "Wall," a steep cobblestoned street.

Geraardsbergen is home to several places of interest. Manneken Pis is the oldest such statue, older than the more famous one in Brussels. The wall, a steep street paved with cobblestones, climbed every year by cyclists during the Tour of Flanders. Boelare Castle is the seat of the former feudal domain Land (Barony) of Boelare. Overboelare Airfield is a small glider airfield with a Douglas C-54A Skymaster (DC-4) as gate guard. Geraardsbergen is known for the mattentaart, a type of sweet pastry. This is made with matten paste or cheese curd.

We used RoutePerfect to plan and book two trips touring Spain from the North to the South coasts and then back again between April and July, staying at 9 hotels in total. All were good to excellent with very straightforward check-in, accepting our voucher with no problems. The website is excellent as a totally flexible planning tool and the staff were very efficient and helpful when we made a mistake with dates and had to phone to make a change. We would highly recommend RoutePerfect and would certainly use them again.

Everything on our trip to Poland has been perfect, hotels, tours, trains and the weather! All suggested hotels have been very nice; staff was very friendly and helpful in all of them. I suggested it to some of my friends. Thank you for your site and I shall definitely use it again when travelling in Europe : )
