No matter its small size, Belgium is abundant in postcard-perfect towns with fairytale-like architecture, canals, and quirky things to do and see. The country’s fascinating comic strip culture renders Belgium a unique playground of sorts for all ages. Belgium is a remarkably diverse country, not only because it has three official languages (Dutch, French, and German) but also because of its multicultural character.

With easy train connections within the country and to neighboring France, Germany, the Netherlands, and others, Belgium is the ultimate hub for a multi-day adventure across Europe.

The Best Destinations in Belgium

Every trip to Belgium should start with a visit to the country’s vibrant capital, the very symbol of the European Union. Brussels is a modern melting pot of cultures, people, and traditions, a city that manages to masterfully blend colorful comic book murals with superb examples of Art Nouveau architecture and UNESCO sites, such as the stunning Grand Place, with ultra-modern structures like the Atomium.

Beyond its capital, Belgium is dotted with incredibly quaint towns. Walking along the cobblestone alleys of Bruges or Ghent feels like stepping inside a gorgeous painting. Bruges boasts one of the world’s best-preserved historical centers, a celebration of Flemish architecture reflecting on the picturesque town’s canals. We’ve chosen Bruges as our second Belgian destination, and we think you’ll understand why when you get there.

A Journey into Belgium’s Tastes

You can’t leave Belgium without a taste of the country’s specialties. Belgium takes great pride in its pommes frites, and this is why you should do your best not to call them French fries there. The epitome of comfort food, pommes frites in Belgium are the most delicious in the world, especially if you dip them in homemade sauces, some of which you can only find in Belgium.

Fried mussels are yet another savory specialty you should try before surrendering to Belgium’s divine sweet treats. You must have tried Belgian waffles and Belgian chocolate before, but nowhere do they taste better than in their birthplace. To wash it all down, Belgium boasts hundreds of local breweries and more than a thousand local beers.
