SEPTEMBER TRIPS: SELECTED JUST FOR YOU
9 days to discover all the beauty Belgium has to offer, stopping at must-see destinations such as Dinant, Waterloo, Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges, Kortrijk, Tournai, Charleroi, Liège, and Strasbourg.
A gem as intense as a Flemish painting and as mysterious as the filling inside a truffle.
A gem waiting to be discovered. Belgium is a low-key country, overshadowed by its large neighboring nations, which tend to overshadow it somewhat, but it more than holds its own in comparison. It is a proud, self-assured region, one to be discovered and savored slowly, like a box of its famous chocolates—which you simply can’t resist taking home as a souvenir.
Between modernity and tradition. If you look deep enough, it won’t be hard to see that the soul of this country lies precisely in the intensity and variety of its landscapes, emotions, and traditions—hidden within the boundaries of a geography that is more emotional than physical. If Belgium doesn’t stand out on the European stage, it’s because it doesn’t like to show off, confident as it is in its rich heritage of history, art, cuisine, and architecture. You’ll never get bored as you travel from the cosmopolitan and festive atmosphere of Brussels to the charming medieval villages of Flanders, and on to the landscapes made famous by the Flemish painters.
Exquisite flavors. If you’re looking for peace, nature, history, and folklore, this is the ideal trip, accompanied by the warmth of a people as welcoming and cheerful as their cuisine. Endless streams of craft beer and chocolate, seafood and potato chips—all these make the flavor of this land authentic and unforgettable, a flavor that, after all, needs no confirmation other than that which comes from the heart.
