Traveling in Belgium

Belgium is a compact jewel of Europe, where medieval cobblestone streets whisper history, and golden beer flows as freely as the conversation. It draws culture lovers, foodies, and curious wanderers with its fairytale towns, surreal comic book murals, and some of the world’s best waffles. Whether you're cycling through Flanders' flatlands or getting lost in Brussels' Art Nouveau labyrinth, Belgium delivers charm in every corner.

Belgium’s hosting scene is warm and diverse, attracting young backpackers, digital nomads, and language learners eager to dive into its multilingual culture. Hosts here tend to be laid-back, multilingual locals or expats who love sharing local secrets—like where to find the best fries or a hidden jazz bar.

Best for: history lovers, beer enthusiasts, comic book fans

Travel tips for Belgium

  • 1

    Try a 'stoemp' (mashed potatoes with veggies and sausage) at a local bistro—it’s Belgium’s ultimate comfort food.

  • 2

    Buy a 10-ride STIB/MIVB transport pass in Brussels to save money on trams, buses, and the metro.

  • 3

    Visit Ghent instead of Bruges for a quieter, equally stunning medieval vibe with fewer crowds.
