🇧🇪 Belgium Travel Guide
Waffles, medieval towns and more chocolate and beer than you’ll know what to do with.
Belgium may be small, but it packs a punch. One moment you’re wandering cobblestone alleys in Bruges, the next you’re sipping Trappist beer in a candlelit Brussels bar. From fairytale castles and Gothic cathedrals to modern art museums and seaside escapes, this Belgium travel guide covers the best of a country that’s charming, quirky, and always delicious.
Brussels:
Big City Vibes with Belgian Soul
Home to EU headquarters and comic book murals, Brussels is a quirky mix of global and local. It’s a great base if you’re exploring the country by train, and while the city itself doesn’t scream “romantic Europe,” it has an artsy energy, awesome markets, and some of the best food in the country.
Bruges:
Straight Out of a Storybook
This city looks like it was designed for postcards. Think canals, gabled roofs, and horses clip-clopping through the streets. Bruges is romantic, relaxed, and weirdly well-preserved. It’s the kind of place where you accidentally take 300 photos… before lunch.
Ghent:
Cool, Creative, and Slightly Underrated
Ghent has Bruges’ charm with a bit more edge. The student population keeps it lively, the street art is legit, and the castle in the middle of town? Yes, please. Bonus: it’s super walkable and not overloaded with tourists.
