Festivals en evenementen

Immerse yourself in the Golden Age of Flanders. Bruges will captivate you with its medieval romanticism. Ghent is a vibrant university city with an impressive historic centre. And Antwerp combines its legacy as the home of Rubens with a modern fashion and design scene.

Explore the capital of Europe. Admire the majesty of the Grand-Place, be surprised by the structure of the Atomium, look for the Manneken Pis and get lost in charming neighborhoods such as Sablon, with its antique shops, or Saint-Gilles, with its Art Nouveau architecture.

Discover the Wallonia region, in the south of the country. It is an area of forested hills, winding rivers and picturesque villages such as Durbuy or La Roche-en-Ardenne. It is ideal for hiking, kayaking and exploring castles such as Bouillon.

Do a Trappist Beer Tasting

Belgium is the birthplace of Trappist beer, brewed by monks in abbeys. Visiting one of these abbeys (such as Westvleteren, Chimay or Orval) or simply trying their complex beers in a traditional 'brown cafe' is an almost spiritual experience. Each sip tells a story of centuries of tradition.

Boat trip through the Canals of Bruges

Discover why Bruges is called the 'Venice of the North'. A boat ride through its canals offers a unique perspective of its stone bridges, its medieval facades and its secret gardens. It is the most romantic and picturesque way to capture the essence of the city.

Follow the Comic Route in Brussels

Belgium is the homeland of comics, and Brussels pays tribute to its heroes with giant murals that decorate the city's facades. Follow the route to find Tintin, the Smurfs, Lucky Luke and many others, and culminate the visit at the Comic Museum, located in a spectacular Art Nouveau building.

Eating French Fries at a 'Fritkot'

Forget everything you know about French fries. In Belgium, 'frites' are a cultural institution. Order a cone at a 'fritkot' (fries kiosk), choose from a huge variety of sauces and discover the secret of their double frying, which leaves them crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Learn to make Pralines

Praline (a filled chocolate bonbon) was invented in Belgium. Many chocolate shops in Brussels or Bruges offer workshops where you can learn from master chocolatiers the art of tempering chocolate and creating your own chocolates. It is a delicious and unforgettable experience.

Attend the 'Last Post' Ceremony in Ypres

Every day since 1928, at 8pm, the Ypres (Yeper) firefighters play the 'Last Post' under the Menin Arch in memory of the soldiers who fell in the First World War. It is an incredibly solemn and moving ceremony that connects you to the deep history of the region.

Public transport

The train network (SNCB/NMBS) is the most comfortable and efficient way to travel between major cities. They are frequent, punctual, and there are often affordable weekend deals or multi-trip passes.

Language

Belgium has three official languages: Dutch (in Flanders), French (in Wallonia) and German (in a small area). Brussels is officially bilingual (French-Dutch). English is widely spoken in Flanders and Brussels, and to a lesser extent in Wallonia.

The Climate

The weather is highly variable and often unpredictable, similar to the UK. Rain is a possibility at any time of the year, so it is essential to carry an umbrella or raincoat and dress in layers.
