TIME ZONE

In the winter period, we recommend clothing that allows you to move comfortably and keeps you warm.

FOOD CULTURE

When German cuisine is mentioned, cakes, potatoes, and of course beer come to mind first. In this culture, which has a great variety of meat and vegetable dishes, there is also a wide variety of beers and wines. 

French cuisine, whose roots date back to the Middle Ages, has a rich culture. French cuisine, famous for its wines and various cheeses and known worldwide, is recognized for meat dishes cooked with different sauces and famous desserts such as crème brûlée, macarons, and soufflé. 

Belgian cuisine combines German and French cuisines with its traditions. 

Dutch cuisine is not a very rich cuisine, but its cheeses are worth trying. Other delicacies are generally fast-food style.
