For us Dutchies Belgium is our southern neighbor. I cannot count the times I visited the place as a young kid with my parents and later with friends. Antwerp was my first ever trip abroad with a group of girlfriends, and though I left because I had a very bad case of homesickness, it left a mark on me, and still cannot resist to visit from time to time. Whether you wish to blow off some steam at the beach, it waffles in Brugge, discover Antwerp’s fashion scene, or hike and cycle through the Ardennes Forest, Belgium has a lot to offer!
