Stella Artois Brouwerij

If you've never been to Belgium, I recommend committing more time to the country beyond Brussels. Exploring the entirety of Belgium reveals a country that is rich in history, culture and natural beauty. It's a destination that offers a diverse range of experiences. Here is an itinerary to see, eat and do all that you can in seven days.

Brussels and Leuven are like two sides of Belgium’s charm, each with its own vibe. Brussels, the lively capital, has everything from the jaw-dropping Grand Place to quirky spots like the Atomium. You can wander cobblestone streets, snack on waffles, and spot comic book murals around every corner. Just a quick train ride away, Leuven feels like a cozy little escape. It’s a student town with a cool energy, beautiful old buildings, and the super chill vibe of the Oude Markt, packed with cafes and bars. Whether you're into history, great food, or just soaking up the atmosphere, these two cities have you covered. I spent one week living in Leuven and day-tripped to Brussels
