City trip in Belgium
Diversity is an important feature of this country, which can make a city trip to a Belgian city very enriching. To immerse yourself in the Belgian feeling, we highlight three cities: Brussels, Bruges, and Spa.
Bruges: historical beauty by the water
The capital of West Flanders is nicknamed “the Venice of the North.” A boat trip on the Bruges canals will transport you back several centuries. The medieval city center is so impressive that you won’t soon forget it. It’s no wonder the historic center is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Highlights include the Belfry tower on the Bruges market, the Town Hall, and the Church of Our Lady. A must-do is a carriage ride through the magnificent city center.
A city trip to vibrant Brussels
This cosmopolitan city is a melting pot of different cultures and languages, giving it an undeniably international character. At the same time, the city has its traditional spots, such as cozy folk neighborhoods where the old colorful Brussels dialect is still spoken. As the capital of surrealism, Brussels offers an extensive art collection in its numerous museums. You can also recognize the stylish art nouveau in the stately Brussels townhouses.
City trip to the sublime Spa
Spa is a world-famous town thanks to the discovery of its healing spring water. As a spa town on the edge of the Ardennes, Spa is the ideal place to recharge and enjoy beautiful landscapes. In this charming town, you can relax with a rejuvenating wellness treatment at the Spa thermal baths or visit the Spa water bottling plant. Additionally, a visit to the Royal Villa and the Casino of Spa is definitely worthwhile.
