Belgium

Belgium has always been home for me, I’m from Leuven, but I’ve also lived and studied in both Brussels and Ghent, which gave me a pretty complete (and very different) view of the country. On top of that, I’ve got friends spread all across Belgium, so I’m constantly discovering new cafés, hidden spots, and cities I probably would’ve never visited otherwise.

This Belgium Travel Guide is a mix of everything I’ve learned along the way: local favourites, city tips, and places that often get overlooked but are 100% worth it.

If you’re planning a trip around Belgium, I’ve put together a complete Belgium Travel Guide with everything you need to know. From the best cities and food to festivals, transport tips, and itinerary ideas.

What Makes Belgium Special

What I love most about Belgium is how much variety you can find in such a small country. I’m from Leuven, but I’ve also lived and studied in Brussels and Ghent. Each place has its own completely different vibe.

I also have friends spread across Belgium. Because of them, I’m constantly discovering new places, cafés, hidden gems, and little corners I might never have found otherwise.

You can spend a weekend exploring beautiful historic cities, head to the coast, or go hiking in the Ardennes. You can enjoy incredible food and beer, or simply wander through a neighbourhood and discover something unexpected.

Belgium may be small, but every part of it feels a little different. That’s exactly what makes me love it so much.

For me, Belgium isn’t just a country to visit. It’s home, and there’s always something new to discover.
