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.

51 American Theatre Company (Brussels)

The American Theatre Company (ATC) has been putting on shows in English for over 45 years. The ATC is often nominated for theatre awards. In fact, in 2013, it won the Best Show award at the annual Festival of European Anglophone Theatrical Societies (FEATS) competition. Tickets can be booked online or in the box office and shows typically last 2 hours with a 15-minute intermission. Their lineup changes frequently and varies from comedies to dramas and from classic to contemporary.

52 Bonnefooi (Brussels)

This is the after party to go to for those who aren’t ready to go home. Empty before 1am, Bonnefooi is always blaring music until the wee hours. Come here to dance and hear great live music or DJs. The servers are really nice, speak several languages, and are happy to accommodate drink requests.

53 Grand Place (Antwerp)

Antwerp is the shopping capital of Belgium and the diamond capital of Europe. However, visitors should not forget to visit its Grand Place, which expertly contrasts its medieval architecture with modern buildings, which complement one another despite their stark architectural and historical differences.

54 Notre-Dame Cathedral (Tournai)

The majestic cathedral of Notre-Dame is the centerpiece of Tournai, a historic city in the south of Belgium. Although its original construction was finished in the 12th and 13th centuries, parts of the cathedral have required renovation over the years. However, the modern touch to this masterpiece does not detract from the beauty of this landmark.

55 L’Archiduc (Brussels)

This Art Deco bar is famous for its beautiful interior and beautiful patrons. While l’Archiduc sometimes hosts shows or music sets, you don’t need them to be entertained here. There is always something happening and you’ll probably leave here with a few good stories. There is a line to get in on the weekends, and the party often spills into the street as the night goes on. It’s best to get here before 10pm to be sure to get your drink within a reasonable time.
