 Not A Useful Guide When You Want To Find the "There" There July 26, 2007
My wife and I tried to use this guide while we ewre in Brussels for a short visit on our way to other countries, and found it very irritatingly organized and generally much less useful than we'd hoped. We ended up having to mostly figure things out on our own; the book is just okay if you need to find a (very) few restaurant recommendations. Keep looking...:)

The information and background on Belgium and Luxembourg were interesting, but the restaurant and hotel information was out of date.

I love to travel and have many favorite travel books. This was my first Rough Guide that I bought. I used it all through Belguim and Luxemburg and saw places I would never have found without the book. And I agreed with everything they said about the locations listed. I loved this book so much, when I came back I ordered several other Rough guides for places I planned to visit in the future.
Great Guide Book for Touring Belgium & Luxembourg November 28, 2001

I am currently living in Belgium and have gone through several guide books to help find the spots to visit. Many other books focus on hotels or restaurants, but the Rough Guide focuses on where to go and what to see when you get there. It has useful information on how to get there by car, train and even bike. I take this book with me on my travels around Belgium and am enjoying learning more about this wonderful country.

Having spent an academic year studying and travelling in Belgium, I went through a great many different guidebooks to enhance my Belgian experience. The guidebook experience was a mixed one - some multi-area guidebooks devoted but a few pages to Belgium (Rick Steves' France, Belgium, and Luxembourg - very spotty on the Belgian information), others were more focused on the culture and history of Belgium than the intricacies of getting to a specific place (the Insight Guide to Belgium).So, having gone through the gamut of books on Belgium, I can wholeheartedly say that this is the best one out on the market at the current time. The coverage given to tourist sites and getting around this small-but-wonderful country is outstanding...it helped me find some great, off-the-beaten-track destinations that other guidebooks might pass over. The coverage given to Luxembourg within these pages is also very well-done (not to mention helpful) -- something sorely lacking in other guidebooks. The Insight Guide to Belgium is also recommended, but more as a cultural and historical primer. For the practicalities of everyday Belgian life, this is the only book you'll need (and its physical size is great - the least cumbersome and yet most informative guide I've ever carried around on my travels). So...what are you waiting for? Go to Belgium and take this book with you!
