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.

61 Grand Place of Furnes (Veurnes)

The Grand Place of Furnes is a central square which teems with 15th century buildings that are too strong for time to destroy. It is as picturesque as it is an impressive example of the resilience of medieval architecture. The Spanish Pavilion, Palace of Justice, the city hall, the Hall of Meat and the belfry are all open for visitors. There are 1.5 hour group tours which will not only make stops at these landmarks but they will also invite guests to sample the region’s meats, cheeses, chocolates, and candies that are made in town.

62 Museum of Natural Science (Brussels)

Nestled between the European Parliament and Leopold Park is the newly renovated Museum of Natural Science. Its interactive exhibitions and works of art are only the tip of the iceberg. You will come face to face with a t-Rex and over 30 other skeletons over 3000 square meters of natural history.

63The Magritte Museum (Brussels)

The Magritte Museum has only been around since 2009 but has quickly become a highlight on the long list of Belgian museums. It holds the vast majority of the works of René Magritte, including The Dominion of Light and The Domain of Arnheim. The line to get it usually forms on the street during holidays, so be sure to buy your tickets online and plan to spend at least an hour here.

64 De Garre (Bruges)

This authentic Belgian tavern is tucked away in a small alley near the Bruges Belfry. De Garre produces one of the finest brews in Belgium, Tripel De Garre, an 11% beer that is only sold at De Garre. Locals and visitors regularly make this bar a fixed point on their list of places to visit while in Bruges.

65 Puzzle Escaperoom Gent (Ghent)

Puzzle Escaperoom Gent sets each team of two to seven people in a laboratory-themed room and sticks closely to this theme throughout the 90 minutes. While open to teams ages 12 and up, this event is not for first-timers, as the puzzles have been rated harder than other escape rooms. Instructions are given in English but there is no language barrier to participating in this activity.
