I recommend all tourist to visit the capital city of Belgium, which is Brussels. There are a lot of tourist attractions which aren't too expensive. You can visit the Atomium. This monument represents an molecule, and consists of 9 atoms. Every atom is one province of Belgium. The monument is built in 1958. But now, there are already 10 provinces! There is one atom fewer than the actual ammount of provinces. You can also visit mini-europa. This is a theme park with miniatures of all the sightseeings in Europe.
Apart from Brussels, there are other beautiful cities in Belgium. Antwerp is a very important harbour city in Belgium. It's the international centre of Diamond. You can compare Bruges with Venice. It has a lot of canals through the city, but it's a bit smaller. And the houses haven't been built in the water.
There are a few more attractions in Wallonia, but my origin is Flemish, so i don't know much about that. If you want more information, i can search for information and send you everything you want.

"I recommend that all tourists visit* the capital city ... This monument represents a ** molecule... The monument was built*** in 1958. But now, there are 10 provinces! So there is one atom fewer than the actual number**** of provinces. ....a theme park with miniatures of all the major sightseeing attractions in Europe. Apart from Brussels, Belgium is known ***** for two other beautiful cities. Antwerp is a very important harbour city. It's the international centre for diamonds.******* Bruges can be compared with Venice. It has many canals throughout the city, but it's a bit smaller. And the houses haven't been built in the water.
There are a few more attractions in Wallonia, the French speaking part of Belgium; but my origin is Flemish, so I don't know much about them.******* If you want more information, I can search for information and send you everything you want."
* or recomend to all tourists that they visit. Just as in French I think, it's recommander à quelq'un.
** it's "a" except before words that start with a vowel, then it's "an": an apple and a pear
*** past tense in English. est construit = is built in English. As does the construction is + past participle generally.
**** "amount of" is qualitative. For physical objects, use "number": The number of guitars in the band is small, but the amount of sound they produce is just amazing.
***** As in French I think, try to avoid starting too many sentences with "there are"
****** or the international center of the diamond industry
******* agreement: just as in French. The object here is "attractions" and so the pronoun is the plural "them".
I hope you keep up your English.
best regards
