Belgium: a delight in disguise
The peaceful canals of Bruges and its perfectly preserved medieval streets, battlefields of Flanders, Grand Place of Brussels, Antwerp’s fashionable vibes, the decadent Belgian chocolate, belfries and beers, crazy carnivals and the renaissance architecture influenced by a mix of cultures- with everything incredible and extraordinary, how could anyone get bored of Belgium? Even a brief about this beautiful country situated in the Western part of Europe is fair enough to give you #travelgoals for your trip to Belgium. Situated between France and The Netherlands, Belgium is often known as the Essence of Europe and is one of the delightful destinations to visit, however, people booking a Belgium tour often restrict themselves to Brussels but there's a lot more to explore in this utterly surprising chunk of Europe.

Brussels: a mosaic of cultures and more…
Unlike any other Belgian city, Brussels, the thumping heart of the country, has a much different vibe all together- classic and vibrant with a small-town vibe. Apart from being the political hub of Belgium (home of the EU, NATO and other huge organizations) with a major role of the ‘capital of European Union’ credited to its name, Brussels has an international flavour in it, a rich assortment of cultures and languages that makes it a great place for even a learning French-speaker to get by without an issue and even for the gourmands looking for diverse flavours in the restaurants and cafes. Another undoubted highlight of the city is its architecture which is as extensive and dazzling as it is elegant; you’ll find lovely art nouveau buildings giving way to extravagant mansions that are adorned with cartoons which shows an important side of Belgium’s cultural heritage. Undoubtedly, there is so much to discover in this multicultural place and even though it is underrated, it definitely is worth a visit.
Bruges: the touristy “Venice of the North”
So rightly nicknamed as the “Venice of the North”, this distinctly and perfectly preserved medieval old town is one of the prettiest sights in Belgium. While its picture-perfect narrow cobblestoned streets are dreamy to explore, Bruges’ sleepy canals and café-lined squares lure the tourists around the year. Bruges is the capital of West Flanders and is at the top of most people’s lists for must-see cities in Belgium; the reason why it can get overcrowded with tourists so it is better to visit here in the mid-week. The wealth of majestic buildings, beautiful architecture with a tinge of modernity makes the tourists choose to explore Bruges time and again.
Antwerp: the capital of ‘cool and trendy’
The second-largest city in Belgium, Antwerp is known for its uber-cool vibe, funky bars and crazy nightlife, hip and trendy fashion boutiques and art outlets. Also known for its roaring diamond trade, it is astonishing to know that this city is the maker of almost 70% of diamonds in the world. Definitely, the one standing ahead in the crowd of coolest cities in Belgium, Antwerp makes for a fun and entertaining place to spend some happy and hearty time with your loved ones. With a hipster food scene, art found abundantly in the city, cozy cafes, craft breweries and the avant-garde designers notching up the fashion scene, you will be heavily occupied with so much to discover.
Ghent: the cultural and urban cocktail
One city that truly is well worth a weekend trip in Belgium is Ghent (also called Gent). It is often overlooked by its popular neighbours; however, it is a charming concoction of culture and trendy, modern life, flowing out just the chill-out vibes and is a must-visit during your Belgium Tour. There are these canals running along with the guild houses and markets and charming facades that add up to the beauty of the city. And then there are some great museums, beautiful historic buildings, bars, notably old churches and an old castle that will delight any and every visitor. If we say what Ghent is in a nutshell, it surely is one fantastic place to live in, which may be small enough to get around with ease but large enough that you won’t get bored.
Experiences on the tour of Belgium
The country is split roughly across the middle by Flanders in the north and Wallonia in the south. While Flanders is proud of its medieval art cities of Antwerp, Bruges and Ghent, Wallonia is much famed for Ardennes, the castles and the towns of Liege, Namur and Tournai. Most of the tourists who love to follow the typical tourist trail will be happy to stroll the medieval streets of Bruges and take in the multicultural vibes of Brussels but someone who is badly bitten by the wanderlust bug will find something new to explore in the pounding nightlife of Antwerp, the colossal cliff-face of Dinant, sandy beaches of the north, forest-edged kayaking rivers, the early 20th-century Art Nouveau townhouses of Victor Horta and so much more that truly deserves to be on the bucket list.
