My husband and I are visiting Belgium at the end of July and we're thinking of doing a day trip by car to some of the Trappist breweries. We'll be staying in Ghent.

Looking at distances I came up with 2 possible itineraries.

Option 1:

-Westvleteren

-Westmalle

-Achel

-La trappe in the Netherlands

[I realize this is probably too much for one day, so suggestions for cutting back are welcome]

Option 2:

-Orval

-Rochefort

-Chimay

Is one of these options more worth doing than the other? Will one be slightly less crowded?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I’m based in Brussels. I’d like to visit some sites / museums related to WW1/WW2.

Do you have any recommendations for guided or self guided tours I could do?

I’ve found it difficult to find many guided day tours listed (as they all seem to be big group ones) and likewise I’m unsure of what I could do that would get the most if self guided (eg accessible by train/bus and has a few things to visit).

Thank you.

Hey all!

Im going on a 3 days trip in July starting in Amsterdam and driving through Belgium to reims in france.

Im looking for some gems across the way to try, michlein and non michlein are welcome.

Hi everyone!

I’m super excited to be heading to Brussels this July for the Bad Bunny concert! 🎉

Since this is my very first time visiting Belgium, I’m trying to plan out my stay. I've come across a few safety warnings online, which have made me a little nervous, so I’d love to get some firsthand advice from people who know the area.

I’m completely open to staying just outside of Brussels if it’s an easier or quieter option. Any tips on great areas to explore, places to avoid at night, or the best way to get to and from King Baudouin Stadium for the show would be amazing!
Thank you so much in advance for your help

Thank you

Hello,

Spending five nights in Dinant and looking for ideas for day trips in the area. Mons is on the list. Looking for nature, art and culture, traveling with a teenager as well. Not super into city stuff (visited Brussels last summer) and are happy to drive 1-2 hours outside Dinant. Would love suggestions. Thank you.

Ik zoek inspiratie voor een volgende bikepackingtrip. Eerder reed ik al van Eupen naar Luzern en nu ben ik op zoek naar een nieuwe meerdaagse gravelroute in Europa.

Mijn grootste criterium: vlot bereikbaar vanuit België met mijn eigen fiets, liefst met de trein of bus. Er zijn veel mooie routes online, maar de logistiek blijkt vaak ingewikkeld.

Ik dacht bijvoorbeeld aan München–Venetië, maar dat lijkt niet zo eenvoudig qua transport.

Hebben jullie aanraders voor mooie gravelroutes die goed bereikbaar zijn vanuit België? Alle tips en eigen ervaringen zijn welkom!

Hello, some friends and me are here for a concert for a few days and we are looking quite forward to it and doing some sightseeing and eating some good food.

But as always there are spots in every city where you should not go.

Where should I not go in Brussel? 😅

Arriving in BRU Zaventem from the U.S. at 8:00 pm and have to travel to Ghent hotel. Will have large suitcase. Torn between booking a private transfer car that costs $150+ OR hopping on a train & taking a cab to hotel. Two cents are welcome! (Also welcoming your suggestions on private transfer car companies)

Is this an ok time to visit city or will alot of places be closed? First time visiting for us.

Next week i'm taking a train from Brussels central train station that departs at 6AM. I will get there at around 12AM so that means a long ass wait. Will it be safe or is Brussels really as sketchy as everyone says

Hello!
We’re a group of people looking for a store selling colourful stockings, stay ups and tights! We have tried finding underwear shops but all of them only sell stockings and stay ups in very nude and dark colors. Are there any good shops for this in Brussels?

All tips are welcome!! Thankx 🙌⭐️

I have always thought of visiting the city and after years of fantasising it, I just need to give myself the green light and go ahead with ticking it off the bucket list. I'd like to visit at some point in 2027, I'd just like any input on when may be best to go over.

I don't mind going at a touristy time; I can handle a crowd. The temperature would probably be the key factor though, I don't know Belgium's climate but I'd prefer to go when it's not scorching or freezing (if I had to pick one, it would be the latter).

I would also prefer a time where any outdoor markets are in spades and any cultural things to do are open (the canal rides, museum visits etc.)

In short, I'd like go when temperatures won't be extreme, the local activities will be on regularly and if I can climb the Belfry, I'd be a happy man (I assume it's open all year round but if not, I'd like to go when it is).

Happy to take any input that may be on offer.
Thank you in advance.

hello! i would be attending the bts concert and i will be staying at a hotel near the airport (diegem area). would it be better and is it safe for me to just take an uber going back (as a solo female) or it'll be safer to take the public transpo? anyone who could please recommend an efficient route from king baudouin stadium to diegem would be much much appreciated! thank you in advance!

Looking forward to my upcoming trip. I am fit and used to walking a lot. I am going to be transitioning from an Airbnb to a hotel and would really like to walk with my roller bag through this park, as marked below. Is this a crazy plan? It looked like the park paths might be little stones, which I wouldn't want to mess up if that's the case.
