"Belgium is famous for Tintin, Hercule Poirot, beer and chocolate but has a great deal more to offer and I love exploring it with our travellers"

Peter, Travel Director

Stroll through the beautiful Bruges

Horse drawn carts, brick façade buildings and waterfront windmills make Bruges a place to savor. Climb the 83-meter Belfry Tower for sweeping views and to watch treats being made at the Chocolate Line. Charm is packed into these flower dressed streets.

Admire the delicate art of Belgian lace

Step back in time to a cultural heritage delicately laced since the 15th century. Though some points in history saw nearly 50,000 people dedicated to this craft in Belgium, it is now a unique specialty. Experience the country’s romantic white lace at the interactive Kantcentrum museum.

See the Atomium

Our top 5 things to do in Belgium

Waltz through fields of blueberries, see a masterpiece of modern European architecture and be charmed by waterfront windmills. Discover the true heart of the country on a Belgium travel experience with Trafalgar.

Royal Palace

Stand before The Royal Palace of Brusselsin awe ofthe imperial magnitude of the neoclassical façade – one that measures 50 percent longer than that of Buckingham Palace. Soak in the opulence as you get escorted through lavish ceremonial rooms including the Mirror Room encrusted with 1.4 million iridescent jewel beetles.

Plantin-Moretus Museum

Explore the ancient city of Antwerp and immerse yourself in the publishing dynasty of Plantin and Moretus. Browse through the UNESCO World Heritage Listed museum and see priceless typographical antiquities including two of the oldest printing presses in the world. Lose yourself in the collection of 30,000 books and visit the bookshop dating back to 1700.

Magritte Museum

Pay homage to Belgian artist René Magritte at Magritte Museum. Behold the largest collection of Magritte’s work including some 230 paintings, drawings, and sculptures as well as his experiments with photography from 1920 and short films from 1956.

Best museums in Belgium

An often underrated destination, Belgium attractions are a surprise to many. Step a little closer on our trips to Belgium and you’ll find a place bursting with culture and museums, from an ancient printing press to a decadent royal palace.

Moules-Frites

Erase your appreciation for fish and chips with its far superior Belgian alternative, mussels and fries. The mussels are usually boiled with fresh herbs and oil – use the left-over juices as dipping sauce for your thin cut fries.

Belgian Beer

The perfect way to wash down Moules-Frites – or any meal, in fact – is with a Belgian beer. Perfecting their brew since the 12th century, fermented cereal grains are part of this country’s heritage. Even fussy beer drinkers will find a variety to love.

Belgian Waffles

Only a few fortunate countries brag a national dish as special as the Belgian waffle. With a perfect consistency both soft and crunchy and countless sweet toppings to choose from, eat this lovable snack from a street vendor, fancy restaurant, or both.

Best food in Belgium

What to pack for Belgium

Loose-fitting clothes

Between the beer, waffles, fries and chocolate, no amount of walking will fend off the feeling of gluttony. Pack loose-fitting clothes so you can indulge in Belgium’s food without any discomfort.

A book or app dedicated to flowers

A country famed for its biennial Flower Carpet festival, Belgium is alive with floral colors at many times of the year. Take a book or download an app and you’ll quickly learn to differentiate varieties of begonias and poppies.

Comfortable shoes

From the flower lined streets of Bruge, to the gorgeous fields of Flanders, you'll need a reliable pair of walking shoes for your trip to Belgium.

An open mind

Belgium is known for its progressive mindset and forward-thinking legal system, often praised for re-shaping outdated systems long before the rest of the world. Feel right at home here with an open mind.

Your credit card

The Belgian city of Antwerp has been dubbed the diamond capital of the world. Home to the second largest port in Europe, it is said that nearly half of the world’s diamonds shimmy through here. Pack your credit card if you care to splurge.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

Unity makes Strength

Belgium, considered one of the low countries of Western Europe, should be high on anyone’s list of places to visit. That is if you crave one of the world’s ultimate experiences of sun, sea, city, history, food, fashion and fun! With its northern shore along the English Channel, its land neighbors are France, Luxemburg, Germany and the Netherlands all infusing a bit of their culture and heritage with Belgium’s. Over the centuries, Belgium has contributed so much to the Europe and the world at large. Known for its “Cities of Art,” many a master painter, sculptor and architect have come from Belgium and the museums and landscapes of the cities bear much evidence of this. What’s art without considering food? You need not break your budget in upscale restaurants to have a true gourmet experience here as all of Belgium’s regions offer some of the world’s finest cheeses, chocolates and more along every street. A country of contrasts and commerce, history and science, art and culture, coastline and hilltops…Belgium travel is full of experiences to have rather than read about.

Destination Must-See's

A perfectly preserved medieval town, Bruges is a tourist’s dream. With beautiful architecture and interesting trips through the canals you really get a feel for the atmosphere. While in the town, some popular places to visit are the main square, Basilica of the Holy Blood, the markets, museums, the “lake of love,” and mansions… and that’s just the beginning of so much more.

Brussels is the capital and largest city of Belgium and the de facto capital of the European Union. It is also the largest urban area in Belgium, comprising 19 municipalities, in addition to the seat of the French Community of Belgium and of the Flemish Community. Brussels has grown from a 10th-century fortress town founded by a descendant of Charlemagne to a sizeable city with a population of 1.2 million and a metropolitan area with a population of over 1.8 million. Since the end of the Second World War, Brussels has been a major center for international politics. Hosting principal EU institutions, the secretariat of the Benelux and the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the city has become the home of numerous international organizations, politicians, diplomats and civil servants.

Ghent is a city located in the Flemish region in the north of Belgium. During the middle Ages, Ghent became one of the largest and richest cities in northern Europe. Many indicators of Ghent’s rich history and past is evident in the architecture in the city center. The city council made the center of Ghent free of cars, so it is very easy for visitors and tourists to explore the city.

Antwerp is the most populous city in the country of Belgium. It is located on the River Scheldt, which links to the North Sea. Antwerp’s port is considered one of the biggest ports in the world. The city dates back to the 4th century. Today, it is known for being the world’s leading diamond city, with more than 70% of all diamonds traded in the city.

Destination Must-Do's

Beer (Trappist beer):

Trappist beer is brewed in Trappist monasteries in Belgium. The first beer brewed was made exclusively for monks and was described as dark and sweet. At the time it had low alcohol content and was the preferred drink over the often unsanitary drinking water. The beer was brewed and distributed as a way to raise funds. Today the beer is much stronger and is among some of the highest alcohol content in all of Europe.

Belgian cheese is part of a refined cheese selection. Some award-winning restaurants only offer Belgian cheese. They have semi-hard, hard, blue, soft, and cottage. They haven’t always been this popular for cheese but now their several hundred cheeses are finally getting the recognition they deserve.

Belgian chocolate remains the gourmet standard for all chocolate. Even the Swiss copy their basic recipe from the Belgian chocolatiers. What makes Belgian chocolate so unique compared to others is the quality of ingredients and how they still make most of the chocolate by hand in small shops with original equipment.

Belgian waffles:

Originally the waffles were known as the Brussels waffles. The family trying to expand the popularity to America knew that wouldn’t sell so they changed the name to Belgian. The traditional way to serve Belgian waffles is crispy on the outside airy in the middle with freshly whipped cream and cut strawberries. Also, you are supposed to eat it with your hands.

Expert Advice

Belgium is home to two main languages, depending on where you are. Dutch is the primary language, with 60% of the population speaking it. French is right behind, and is spoken by more than 30%. You’ll see many road signs and other notices written in both of these languages.

Belgium’s medieval quaint town centers make its Christmas markets a great destination. The markets are a must because of its unique gifts, street food, and the atmosphere around the holidays. Bring home a special gift that you cannot find anywhere else.

See Belgium from a different perspective and get the best of both worlds by taking a canal tour! It is a great way to really see the fairytale cities while enjoying the pleasure of a boat trip.

Best time to visit belgium.

As a small country, Belgium's weather doesn't vary much around the country. Warmer weather prevails from May to September, with July and August being the most popular times to visit, so expect to share Belgium with more people when traveling during this period. It can get quite cold during December and January, with snow frequently falling around the country. Rainfall is quite high year-round in Belgium, although the rain is usually in the form of showers rather than torrential downpours.

Geography and environment

Sharing borders with France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, Belgium is strategically placed near many of Western Europe's capital cities. Featuring relatively flat terrain, Belgium has a mixture of fertile plains and valleys, and rugged forested areas. With a small strip of coastline along the North Sea, international travelers often forget that Belgium has sandy beaches, with the Flanders coast being well-frequented by local and European holidaymakers.

Top 5 sweet treats of Belgium

1. chocolate.

Belgian chocolate is arguably the world's best and with thousands of chocolate shops all over the country, visitors won't be able to resist trying a truffle or two! Visit chocolate museums, hand-pick favourites at luxury chocolateries or stock up at chain stores.

Belgian Waffles (known locally as Gaufres) aren't exactly a diet food. Topped with cream, sugar, chocolate sauce, strawberries or all of the above, they are a delectably decadent treat easily picked up from markets, specialty stores and street carts all over Belgium.

3. Cuberdon

These classic Belgian sweets are a raging favourite with locals. Hard on the outside and syrupy in the middle, cone-shaped cuberdons are made with sugar and gelatine, and are available in flavours like raspberry, blackcurrant and apple.

4. Speculoos

These thin, spicy cookies are usually served at Christmas, but are baked all year round. With a unique flavour, they are very 'moreish' so it's hard to stop at one.

5. Pom Koek

This traditional, Belgian coffee cake made with honey and coffee and spiced with cinnamon and cloves is a delicious afternoon pick-me-up easily found in coffee houses and cafes throughout Belgium.

Belgium - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Belgium is a hub of European culture and is a must-visit for any Euro-trip. The country is bordered by France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, making it the perfect destination for country-hopping. Paris can be reached by train in just 90 minutes, while Amsterdam is just under two hours away. Belgium’s capital city, Brussels, is home to the European Parliament and French, Dutch and German are all widely spoken within the country.

A tour in Belgium cannot be completed without waffles, chocolate and beer. The country is also known for its frites (french fries), often sold by street vendors in a paper cone with a side of mayonnaise. Beyond great eats, Belgium is a hotspot for ornate architecture and medieval towns.

Tour Highlights

• Wander the fairytale streets of Bruges
• Buy some cuberdons (cone-shaped Belgian sweets) from a stall in Ghent
• Visit the whole continent without leaving Brussels at Mini-Europe
• Drink one of Delirium Café’s 3000 beers
• See the carpet of begonia flowers in front of the Grand Place
• Explore the painted walls of Brussels’ Comic Strip Route

Travel Tips

• Flying to Brussels on your upcoming holiday? Double check the name of your arrival airport. While Brussels Airport is near the capital city, Brussels-Charleroi Airport is a 20-minute bus ride and additional one-hour train ride away.
• You’ll likely hear lots of French spoken within Brussels, but Dutch (Flemish) is most widely spoken outside the capital city. Most Belgians can also converse in English.
• Fancy a night on the town? There’s no such thing as a mandated ‘last call’ in Belgium, so bars often remain open until the atmosphere dies down.
• Don’t worry about feeling out of place. Tourists are very welcome in Belgium, and every one out of three inhabitants is a foreigner.
• Belgian public transportation is great and travelling by train is fast and inexpensive. Brussels is one of the world’s most traffic congested cities, so opt for the metro rather than renting a car or taking the bus.

The 6 Best Belgium Tours For Unforgettable Adventures That Are Achievable & Affordable

Posted on Last updated: October 13, 2023

Categories Tours , Belgium , Europe

Expert travel storyteller Jordan Adkins, founder of InspiredByMaps.com, brings a decade of adventures across 101 countries and 450+ UNESCO sites into rich, off-the-beaten-path narratives, melding ecological expertise with genuine, seasoned travel insights. His full bio can be found here.

The picturesque nation of Belgium, situated in the center of Europe, attracts tourists with its alluring combination of history, culture, and cuisine. Every type of traveler may find something to do in Belgium thanks to its unique cities and rich heritage. Belgium promises an enchanted voyage full of delightful surprises, whether you’re a history enthusiast, a foodie, or want to experience European charm. 

When visiting Belgium, it’s always best to take an organized tour. An organized tour to Belgium can greatly improve your travel experience and provide several advantages. Here are a few reasons you should take an organized tour of Belgium.

Planned tours handle all logistics, including travel arrangements, lodging, and itineraries. This takes the burden out of figuring out how to get there, finding a place to stay, and choosing what to see and do. Everything is planned for you, so you can concentrate on having a good time.

Tour guides are also informed about the area and can share insightful and background information about each location visited. They can provide a greater understanding of the place by bringing the nation’s history, culture, and landmarks to life.

Scheduled excursions are made to make the most of your time and ensure you get the most out of your trip. They are frequently planned carefully to maximize your time while covering the must-see sights and undiscovered gems, saving you the time and trouble of creating your schedule.

It’s also important to note that Tour companies frequently incorporate special events that may be difficult for independent visitors to access. These special activities can be included in your scheduled excursions.

Bruges is known as the “Venice of the North,” and with good reason. The capital city of Belgium’s West Flanders region, Bruges is brimming with history and culture along its winding canals. If you’re pressed for time, a two-day stay in Bruges is a fabulous introductory tour to Belgium.

Day 1, Bruges : Start with a heart-pounding climb to the top of the Belfry of Bruges - it’s 366 but worth every step when you gaze out over the city from way up here. Later, when you’re back down at street level, listen carefully you’ll hear the 47 bells in the tower chiming over the city. Belgian history comes to life at the Market Square and its Cloth Hall, Cranenburg House and 14th-century war hero statues.

Day 2, Bruges : Don’t miss the Historium, where you’ll travel back in time to medieval Bruges, via virtual reality. Make sure to include the soaring Church of Our Lady on your Bruges two-day tour - it’s where Michelangelo’s famous Madonna and Child sculpture is housed, as well as a fantastic art collection and the tombs of Mary of Burgundy and Charles the Bold. Stop by the Groeninge Museum, in a building that was once Eekhout Abbey - look for 18th- and  19th-century works by Jan van Eyck and Hugo van der Goes.

Then, fortified, fill your day in Brussels with visit to Grand-Place, the Museum of Musical Instruments, the Horta Museum, Cantillon Brewery, the Atomium, and, yes, the “peeing boy” statue, or Manneken Pis.

Day 4, Ghent : Your full day tour in Ghent should include an iconic photo of St. Michael’s Bridge, the epitome of the city’s cozy canal atmosphere, a stroll along the Grass Quay and Corn Quay with their striking medieval architecture, Gravensteen Castle, the Vrijdagmarkt (Friday Market), one of the oldest squares in Ghent, and a climb up to the best view of Ghent at the top of the Ghent Belfry - this UNESCO World Heritage Site is Belgium’s tallest belfry.

Amsterdam and Paris

This is my second tour with Europamundo. The first was not all that great, but I was partially to blame so I decided to give them another shot. This tour includes stops at locations that are in line with what one would expect to see in the cities included. The transportation is decent and comfortable. Another family and I were asked if we would mind going on a different tour bus because of seating space. Once on the bus it was conducted entirely in Spanish and we had to remind the guide that there were English speakers on board. The city tours provide a lot of information and scenic memories. Make a note that it says on the last day the end of services is after breakfast. Actually, after the city tour in Paris the day before the end of the tour you will get dropped off by the L'ouvre under the premise of a "free day" and you are on your own to get back to your hotel. The accommodations are about a 7.5/10. In Amsterdam I was at the Radisson Blu. It was a nice full service hotel. Daily breakfast was good. Room was comfortable and clean. However, it is not located by anything but warehouse/industrial buildings. However, in Paris We stayed at the Residhome Aparthome in Nanterre. The location is great!!! Lots of restaurants and buzzing college town. However the accommodations were horrid. Specifically my room #209 had old peeling furniture and mildew on the roof and doorways. I took pics and will upload. The staff were French speaking only. Overall, the tour is good. Saw lots of sights and made lifetime memories. Europamundo needs to do a little more fine tuning to be sure the tours run a little more smoothly. I will say I would consider doing another tour with them. Considering the price the value matches what was paid.

Amsterdam to Bruges Bike & Barge - Comfort

I took the Bike and Barge trip from Amsterdam to Bruges. There was so much good about this trip - our guide, Simon, was excellent on all fronts. However, there were 24 cyclists and Simon had no assistant. That is totally unacceptable. It was only by luck that we had some very experienced cyclists on this tour who assisted Simon when needed: and there were numerous occasions.

Crucemundo people and food were great. Ship was clean and comfortable. We loved having the freedom to go on and off the boat when the boat was docked in port. Would have liked more time in Delft. Sunday and Monday the museums and shops were closed in Rotterdam. Having Tulip in the cruise name is a bit misleading since we don’t see any. Tour radar should not be so strict about the meals as we were brought back to the ship because they had to feed us on board. Transportation should be both to and from Amsterdam, considering you are advertising that the crew starts and ends in Amsterdam. No, Zaandam is NOT part of Amsterdam. We should be offered the optional excursions for purchase at the beginning of the cruise. There should be some minimal criteria for tour guides. Most were great, but a couple were not up to par.

Meet the Legends

Hi there! Got a question?

 We’re here to help, find the answers below. 

Where do the tours start from?

All tours start from a central location in the city. In Bruges and Antwerp, we meet by the central statue on the main square (Grote Markt), in Brussels on Market Square (Grand Place) and in Ghent we meet in front of Hostel Uppelink. Look for the guide with the red umbrella!

What is a Free Tour?

Free Tours are guided walks provided by passionate local guides without requesting any upfront payments. They allow every traveller, no matter their budget, to experience a quality tour and get to know the city from a local’s perspective.

How do I recognize the guide?

Look for the guide with the red umbrella at the meeting point. Remember: if it’s not red, it’s not legendary!

Are Free Tours really free?

Free Tours work on a “Pay-What-You-Like” basis, so you are free to decide how much you want to contribute according to how much you enjoyed the experience. 

Who can take our Free Tours?

Travellers of all ages and backgrounds who want to enjoy an authentic experience can join our Free Tours, but if you are travelling in a group of more than 6, we ask that you book a private tour with us instead.

Do I have to book my Free Tour?

Yes, it’s advised to make a booking to ensure group sizes remain manageable and guides can provide a better experience for all guests. Making a booking is absolutely free and it will take you less than one minute!

Which language will you speak during the tour?

We offer tours in English, Spanish, Dutch, French and German. Each tour is given in one language only, so make sure to book the tour in the language you are most familiar with.

Are there any breaks during the free walking tour?

There is no scheduled break during the tour but we are of course flexible, so we can always take a break if you need one!
