Question

where is worth a visit in belgium?

Answer 1

Brussels may be the capital of Belgium and is the primary seat of the Belgian Royal Family and, also the capital of the European Union and if you intend to know after that it this is actually the place hotelbye . Brussels is a remarkably little, easy-going, and human-sized city for many their importance. Unlike anthers city with their hordes of tourists, Brussels is Belgium's major economic and instructional center, gives the town a more workaday experience than other towns. Here, in Brussels, if you would decide to go to, you will receive a correct feel for Belgian life, specially its excellent restaurant and café culture. Though Brussels may not need the star attractions of different Belgian areas, the capital has ample to help keep readers entertained for a day or two with a clutch of world-class museums and artwork galleries, along with quirkier sights like the Atomium, and some wonderful remnants of previous structure in the previous city quarter.

Answer 2

Everyone else has beaten me to it in mentioning most of the main attractions. , but there is one place that has not been mentioned. Ypres. It is rumored that Two of the chocolate shops there are the best in Belgium (they are very good, i know, i have been), and because Belgium chocolate is the best in the world, that makes the two chocolate shops the best in world.

Ypres is also important on a historical level, most of the town was completely destroyed during the first world war. It now hosts probably the best WW1 museum in Europe and is the best place to tour most the major battlefields and graveyards. Including the largest war memorial in Europe. Ypres just likes being the biggest and best.

Answer 6

You can also try Knokke-Heist - it's resort town on the beach - 20 minutes from Brugge.

Great houses, happening cafes and a casino.

Great for swimming, surfing or just people-watching.

Also the home to the most famous Belgian Waffle house - Mme. Siska.

Answer 7

Depends on what you're interested in, and used to. I like to go kayaking in the Ardennes - it's mellow, and you can relax afterwards and drink great beer.

Brussels is superb, had some great parties there and like strolling around. People are very nice.

Answer 8

bruges is the main place in belgium that everybody visits, it has a great old, preserved medieval center and tons of flemish art. i was there about a month ago. also, ghent, antwerp, and brussels are all worth visiting. belgium is very small, so it's real easy to get from one town to the next via train or car. brussels is definitely the "big city" feel place, and there's a lot to do there as well. if you visiting belgium as part of a larger trip, brussels and antwerp both are on the main rail line between paris and amsterdam.

Answer 9

I was there a couple of years ago. Visit a town called Brugge (or maybe it is spelled Bruge.) Anyway, it is pretty old, but is really cool.



Dress warmly. It is always cold there, even in July.

Answer 10

Everywhere. First off, understand that any trip to Belgium is all about decadence. After all, the four food groups of Belgium are waffles, fries, chocolate and beer. If you like any of these things, you'll love Belgium.



Brussels is the obvious place to start. The Grand'Place in the center of town is one of Europe's best central squares: it's gorgeous. Also nice in Brussels are the large number of art nouveau bars, beautiful places to have a drink.



North of Brussels in Flanders, where Dutch (or Flemish) is the native language. This area is flat, with several beautiful old medieval cities. My favorites are Bruges and Ghent (Brugge and Gent in Flemish), both with great canals, good restaurants, and interesting markets.



Also nice in Flanders is the coast. While Ostend (Oostende) is the best known place, my favorite is a little known town called De Haan. The buildings there echo the turn of the century, making you feel like someone out of a silent movie.



South of Brussels is Wallonia, where they speak French. The land here is hillier with more woods. My favorite choice here is to take the train from Namur to Dinant. Both towns have awesome citadels worth exploring, but both are also very friendly and stroll-worthy.



Belgium is one of the true gems of Europe, with friendly people and great food. Especially the fries. And the waffles. And the beer. And the chocolate. Dang, now I've got to go back!
