Destination overview

Famous for striking architecture, charming cities, friendly locals and of course, its beer, Belgium is truly one of Europe’s gems.

Divided by the Flemish (Dutch speaking) region to the north and Wallonia (French speaking) region to the south, Belgium is the perfect blend of cultures with its own twist.

At the heart of the country is Brussels, its capital city and centre of the European Union. Be mesmerised by the city’s opulent Grand Place, cobblestone streets, modern masterpiece Atomium, the 17th Century icon Manneken Pis, year round entertainment and the country’s crowning treats – beer, waffles, chocolate and frites.

Head north and discover the 12th Century Gravensteen castle in Ghent, take a boat cruise along Antwerp’s river or stroll through Bruges city centre to the ornate 14th Century City Hall in Burg square. Head south to the otherworldly riverside town of Dinant, watch the opera in Liege’s Opéra Royal de Wallonia or visit the longest bar in the world in Leuven.
