Being a pocket-size sort of country, Belgium is cheap to get around in, but budget hotels are both rare and heavily booked - especially in summer. On the food front, eating out is far better for your palate than it is for your wallet. Travelling modestly, you could survive on US$60.00 per day. But if you don't fancy sleeping in public toilets, figure on at least US$100.00 per day.

Tipping isn't obligatory, and haggling is not exactly a national pastime.
