”O Belgium, o mother, darling…”, welcome to the flat country! It is not always necessary to fly to see beautiful landscapes or even beautiful buildings. Our small territory has nothing to envy to our neighbours, since here too, there are pretty towns to visit!
Used
It is impossible for all Belgians or tourists to miss this city. Nicknamed “the Venice of the North“With its canals that cross the city and its Gothic architecture, you will feel somewhere else while being at home. You will see the town hall which dates from the 14th century, not far from the Grand-Place, you can admire the belfry built from the 13th century which has a carillon of 47 bells and a tower measuring 83 meters high. You can also climb the tower and admire the city with a panoramic view. Of course, it is possible to take a small canoe to discover Bruges.
Bruxelles
Our capital is one of the most beautiful cities in the kingdom. The Grand-Place is a must! Since 1998, it has been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. You can try one of the 2,000 beers offered by the Delirium Café or even walk towards the Monts des Arts to perhaps visit the Magritte museum.
Who says Brussels, also says “Manneken Pis”, our little national man sees many tourists pass before him every day. Made of bronze and measuring only 55.5 centimeters high, it is located a few steps from the Grand-Place. The Atomium is also an unmissable place in the capital. It is one of the flagship constructions of Brussels, to see at least once in your life.
dining
Located in Wallonia, the city of Dinant is crossed by the Meuse, the largest river in the country. The citadel, “fortress”, was built in the 19th century on a fort that had been dismantled and built in 1051. How to get there? By taking a cable car!
Antwerp
Port city and the most populated in Belgium, Antwerp is also the city of diamond dealers. What to visit? The museum “to the Storm”, the historic centre, the fashion museum, the “Plantin-Moretus” printing museum, the botanical garden, without forgetting the Zoo which is right next to the station.
Thinking
With its Quai aux Grains and Quai aux Herbes, on the banks of the Lys, Ghent is a city rich in history. If you like cathedrals, this is the place par excellence because the city has some of them with the magnificent castle of the counts which dates from 1180.
