Belgium is a country of stunning architecture, unique museums, world-famous chocolate, and excellent rail connections. Staying in Brussels, you can quickly reach any city in the country by train and return to the capital for dinner in the evening.

Start your visit to Brussels at Grand Place, with its breathtaking Town Hall and the "King's House." Nearby, you will find the legendary Manneken Pis fountain. Then head to the Upper Town, where the beautiful park hosts the Royal Palace (18th–19th century), the current residence of the King of Belgium. There, you will also find another iconic symbol of Brussels, the Atomium, a giant model of an iron crystal erected in 1958. Among the many museums in Brussels, be sure to visit at least three: the Royal Museum of Ancient and Modern Art (two museums in one building), the museum dedicated to the incredible Belgian artist René Magritte, and the ADAM Museum of Art and Design.

Begin your Antwerp tour at the Central Train Station, rightly considered one of the most beautiful in the world. Continue to Grote Markt Square with its fountain, Town Hall, and the Gothic Cathedral of Our Lady. Explore Steen Castle on the banks of the Scheldt River, visit the Rubens House Museum, and, if time permits, the Royal Museum of Fine Arts with a collection of over 7,000 exhibits. Don't forget that Antwerp is the city of diamonds, with an entire district dedicated to gemstones, featuring numerous shops and workshops.

Bruges, with its stunning canals and historic houses, needs no introduction—it is one of Belgium’s most popular cities, attracting around 8 million tourists annually.

Ghent is just as beautiful as Bruges: its canals and bridges are complemented by breathtaking Gothic cathedrals, such as St. Nicholas’ and St. Bavo’s, the medieval belfry Belfort, and the 12th-century Gravensteen Castle.
