Overview
Belgium travels well by rail: Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp and Bruges sit within an hour of each other, so one base covers most of a first trip. Flanders holds the medieval cities and the North Sea beaches, Wallonia the Ardennes forests and the Meuse valley, and the language switches from Dutch to French somewhere in between.

Beer culture in Belgium was inscribed on UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage in 2016, one of the few drinking traditions anywhere to be listed in its own right.
