Belgium, a small European nation bordering France, Netherlands and Germany, offers an interesting mix of historical cities, cosy towns and scenic landscapes. One prominent attraction is Bruges, a well-preserved city with canals that weave through the centre. It can be explored by boat or by foot through the charming squares that line its colourful buildings, making it a wonderful weekend getaway destination.

To learn about the history of Belgium, head to Brussels where you'll find the Grand Place, a square surrounded by guildhalls, and museums that are dedicated to European history and art.

To reconnect with nature, visit the Ardennes region - this is a hilly area made up of dense forests and cosy villages. For a memorable experience in this region, you'll want to hike or bike the scenic trails and visit the many medieval castles that are perched on Ardennes' hilltops.

Brussels, Belgium

Discover Brussels

Belgium's capital, Brussels, was founded in the 10th century and was once a centre of power for the Holy Roman Empire as well as the Spanish Habsburgs. Today, it's an important political centre for the European Union and the de facto capital of Europe.

Brussels is home to the Grand Place, a beautiful square surrounded by guildhalls and what was once the headquarters of the country's trade guilds. All this and more make it a wonderful city break destination.

For even more history, there's the Coudenberg Palace which was once the residence of the Holy Roman Emperors. Brussels is foodie central; it's famous for its Belgian chocolate and waffles, trendy beer scene, moules-frites (mussels and fries) and carbonnade flamande (beef stew), all of which you'll have to try if you're visiting!

Brussels Airport is the primary international airport that serves the city - it's situated just 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) northeast of the city centre and has great public transport connections available to get you from plane to city quickly.

Brussels experiences mild summers and cool winters with frequent spells of rain so you'll want to pack an umbrella or raincoat for your trip, no matter what time of year you go.

Visit the Battlefields of Flanders (WWI Memorials)

For those interested in history, particularly WWI, a visit to the Flanders Fields region is incredibly moving to behold. The area around Ypres (Ieper) is filled with memorials, cemeteries, and museums dedicated to the Great War.

Key sites include the Menin Gate Memorial (where the Last Post ceremony is held nightly), Tyne Cot Cemetery (the largest Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in the world), and the In Flanders Fields Museum in Ypres.

Go Beer Tasting on Brewery Tours

Belgium is sometimes known as the beer capital of Europe, with thousands of different beers produced country wide. Tour the countryside on a beer-tasting journey, visiting local pubs (estaminets) to sample various styles, from Trappist ales brewed by monks to Lambics and strong dark ales.

Many breweries offer tours, providing insight into the brewing process and the history behind their beers. Some popular options include the Cantillon Brewery in Brussels (for traditional Lambic beers) or even a visit to a Trappist monastery like Westvleteren (though their beer is notoriously difficult to acquire outside of the monastery).

Visit Brussels "Comic Strip Centre"

Belgium is the birthplace of iconic comic characters like Tintin and The Smurfs, and it has a deep-seated love for "Bande Dessinée" (comic strips). In Brussels, visit the Belgian Comic Strip Centre (Centre Belge de la Bande Dessinée), housed in a beautiful Art Nouveau building designed by Victor Horta.

Beyond the museum, explore the city's Comic Strip Route, a walking tour that takes you past numerous murals depicting famous Belgian comic characters on buildings throughout Brussels. It's a fun and unique way to see the city and appreciate this integral part of Belgian culture.

Belgium Travel Tips

  • Use Public Transport: Belgium's trains are fantastic for inter-city travel, and cities are very walkable. Skip the car and save money by using their efficient public transport system.
  • Eat Everything: Go beyond just waffles and fries! Indulge in local stews like carbonnade flamande, fresh mussels (moules-frites), and the incredible variety of Belgian beers and artisan chocolates.
  • Learn Basic Phrases: While English is common, a simple "Bonjour/Goedendag" (hello) and "Merci/Dank u wel" (thank you) in French or Dutch will be appreciated and appease locals.
  • Pack Layers: Belgian weather can change quickly. Always bring layers, including a waterproof jacket, as sunshine, clouds, and rain can appear in a single day. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for cobblestone streets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What language do they speak in Belgium?

Belgium has three official languages:

Dutch (often referred to as Flemish in Belgium): This is spoken primarily in the northern region of Flanders, which includes cities like Antwerp, Ghent, and Bruges. Approximately 60% of the Belgian population speaks Dutch as their first language.

French: This is spoken primarily in the southern region of Wallonia, which includes cities like Liège, Namur, and Charleroi. Around 40% of the Belgian population speaks French as their first language.

German: A small German-speaking community exists in the eastern part of the Wallonia region, bordering Germany. Less than 1% of the population speaks German as their first language.

Which season is best to visit Belgium?

Generally speaking, the shoulder seasons are often recommended for a good balance of pleasant weather and fewer crowds. In Spring, you will see mild temperatures, blooming flowers (like the famous bluebells in Hallerbos), longer daylight hours, and moderate crowds. Accommodation prices can also be more reasonable than in summer. Festivals like the Brussels Jazz Weekend often take place.

In Autumn, you will get pleasant, crisp weather, beautiful autumn foliage, and diminishing crowds after the summer rush. You might also find better deals on flights and hotels. Many art festivals happen during this time.

Is Belgium expensive?

Belgium is generally considered a moderately expensive travel destination, especially compared to some of its Western European neighbors like the Netherlands or France, but certainly more expensive than Eastern European countries. Eating out at restaurants can add up quickly. A sit-down dinner for two can easily cost €50-€100 or more. However, Belgium excels in delicious and affordable street food!

What is the rainiest month in Belgium?

While Belgium experiences rainfall throughout the year, historical data often points to July and December as having the highest average rainfall. That being said, Belgium has a temperate, maritime climate, meaning rainfall is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year. You should always be prepared for some rain, no matter the month.
