If you want a place in Belgium to make you stop and think, there's a street in Mons which has two plaques a couple of hundred metres apart. One marks the place where the first shot on the Western front was fired, the other marks the spot where the last shot was fired. ( Before you ask, I don't know how they know this or whether it true ).

If you're interested in engineering, there is an amazing canal lock which is effectively a massive water tank on rails, The ships steer into it, they lock the gates and it goes up an incline on a railway. It's massive.
