An overview of fun places to visit during your weekend in Durbuy. This town in eastern Belgium is known for its stone houses and cobbled streets.

Brussels, the capital of Europe, is a thriving international city full of delicious food and amazing sights. Though many people choose to visit Bruges over Brussels, don't discount this city.

TRAMS have the right-of-way, then the police, then pedestrians. Before crossing the street, check an additional time for trams. Bruxelles Midi is by far the most dangerous place is the city.

I KNOW this is a hot take, and I swear I love Germany with all my heart, but Belgium has the best beer hands down. Not to mention the frites (fries), the chocolate, and the waffles. I have been to many a European city and my tastebuds were happiest in Belgium by far. As an ode to the country (and hopefully as a way to convince you to add Belgium to your next trip), I've created this guide of some of my favorite bars & restaurants I tried throughout the country! For my plant-based besties out there: Many of these places offer vegan options. Some of them are 100% vegetarian or vegan, or have a separate menu catering to those diets. I always struggle when traveling to places with very meat-heavy traditional cuisine because I want to participate in the culture while honoring my diet. Belgium was one of the BEST countries when it came to catering to my needs. Not only did they offer plant-based food, I was able to find plant-based versions of the traditional food (this is really hard sometimes!). You can enjoy the local flavor guilt-free! This guide includes places in Brussels, Ghent, & Antwerp. Belgium is one of my favorite countries.
