Travel Info What is the size of belgium? Travel Tips a straight answer to your straight question - around 30,000 square kilometers (11,700 square miles) Area- a of total 30,528 km虏 (11,787 square miles), Water (%) 6.4 Source(s): my fav site, wikipedia Other Travel Tips As per Wikipedia "Belgium, with an area of 30 528 square kilometres (11,787 sq. mi), has three main geographical regions: the coastal plain in the north-west, the central plateau, and the Ardennes uplands in the south-east. The coastal plain consists mainly of sand dunes and polders. Polders are areas of land, close to or below sea level that have been reclaimed from the sea, from which they are protected by dikes or, further inland, by fields that have been drained with canals. The second geographical region, the central plateau, lies further inland. This is a smooth, slowly rising area that has many fertile valleys and is irrigated by many waterways. Here one can also find rougher land, including caves and small gorges.Belgium shares borders with France 620 km, Germany 167 km, Luxembourg 148 km and Netherlands 450 km. Landscape in the Hautes Fagnes, in the ArdennesThe third geographical region, called the Ardennes, is more rugged than the first two. It is a thickly forested plateau, very rocky and not very good for farming, which extends into northern France and in Germany where it is named Eifel. This is where much of Belgium's wildlife can be found. Belgium's highest point, the Signal de Botrange is located in this region at only 694 metres (2,277 ft). The climate is maritime temperate, with significant precipitation in all seasons (K枚ppen climate classification: Cfb; the average temperature is 3 掳C (37掳F) in January, and 18掳 C (64 掳F) in July; the average precipitation is 65 millimetres (2.6 in) in January, and 78 millimetres (3.1 in) in July).[13] Because of its high population density and location in the centre of Western Europe, Belgium faces serious environmental problems. A 2003 report[14] suggested that the water in Belgium's rivers was of the lowest quality in Europe, and bottom of the 122 countries studied" Peace....
