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. The Celtic town name is a combination of two words; “dur” (wood) and “bu” (water). This is a perfect name for a town along the river in this green region.

Bruges is the most beautiful city in Belgium. The house that I grew up in is 15 minutes away from Bruges and that means that Bruges is the city I grew up in. I also worked in the tourist office, so it's safe to say that I know the place very well and I might be the perfect local guide to show you guys around.

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. Almost nothing can compare to seeing Grand-Place in person.
Just because Brussels is a political hub does not mean the city does not have extraordinary churches, museums and plenty of fun activities.

A sneak peak of the helpful info in this guide:
"Important: Pedestrians do NOT have the right-of-way in Brussels. 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. Pickpockets are always there and they may not even try to be stealthy. As far as I have heard, they won't physically harm you, but they might try to take your things. Keep your hands and your eyes on your luggage."

Fun Fact: Did you know the Brussels is known as a comic book hub?

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. If you'd like a personalized guide to Belgium or want to chat about your upcoming European adventure, check out my travel services! I work with you 1-on-1 to create the trip of a lifetime. Feel free to email me with any questions at autumnmarietravels@gmail.com.
