Despite being the capital of waffles and beer, Belgians are notoriously some of the fittest people in Europe. Belgium is constantly on the move and this list highlights some of the best places to be and things to see in the country. Several places on this list are a feast for the eyes more than the stomach, though there are a few highly-recommended food stops in there. Come find out why Belgium is teeming with adventure, history, and breathtaking views that attract international crowds from all over. Just remember to bring your walking shoes.

46 Pancake Boat (Antwerp)

De Pannenkoekenboot, also known as the Pancake Boat, is an hour long cruise around Antwerp with an all-you-can-eat pancake buffet. Visitors listen to typical Flemish music while soaking up the panoramic view of Antwerp. The pancakes here can be served with syrup, jam, jelly, chocolate or powdered sugar…or all of the above if you’d like!

47 Botanical Garden (Meise)

The garden surrounding the Bouchout Castle in Meise is the largest botanical garden in Belgium. The garden is an enormous 92 acres, with more than 18,000 types of plants. While the castle is an interesting 45-minute visit, most visitors come to walk the grounds of the garden. Be sure to check out the Plant Palace, made up of 13 glass greenhouses with eleven different climates which enable plants from all over the world to grow.

48 Nature walks (Ardennes)

This is less extreme than hiking. Nature walks, sometimes called long-distance footpaths, are very popular in Belgium. There are, officially, 23 nature walks in Belgium, scouring 2500+ miles, several of which are in the Ardennes region. Bed and breakfasts and small inns can be found at several points along the trails so that visitors can trek for days in the Belgian countryside.

49 Goupil le Fol (Brussels)

Goupil is a more like four floors of living rooms than a bar. Dozens of sofas of all shapes and thicknesses provide a cozy environment and make it a great place to escape from the unfriendly outdoors. Most patrons bring their romantic interests to this intimate setting, so be prepared for public displays of affection.

50 Fuse (Brussels)

There are lots of nightclubs in Brussels but none as famous as Fuse. DJs and techno artists join waiting lists to play here. During summer months, Fuse brings the party to the Belgian coast (Fuse on the Beach). Whether joining them outdoors or indoors, try to get there before midnight as the club fills up fast.
