Things to Do in Belgium

With 35 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, over 2,000 chocolate shops, 200 museums, 650 beer varieties and 300 Art Nouveau buildings in Brussels alone, Belgium is an excellent holiday destination.

Though small in size, the country is divided into three regions: Wallonia, Flanders and the Brussels region, and boasts stunning historic cities, breathtaking landscapes and remarkable historical sites.

It’s worth exploring Wallonia, the French-speaking southern region, and cities such as Namur, Dinant, Spa, Bastogne, Tournai, Liège and the charming Durbuy, the Ardennes, the mountainous area in the eastern part of the country, and the Belgian coast.

Cities like Bruges, Antwerp and Ghent need little introduction – their reputation precedes them – but the Flanders region hides many other gem-like towns.

For food lovers, Belgium is a veritable paradise: from Belgian chocolate to waffles, from seafood to the famous chips, friet, not to mention Belgian beers. Any time of year is perfect for visiting Belgium: throughout the year, numerous events are organised, culminating in the wonderful Christmas markets.
