Belgium is a country bordered by France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Luxembourg. It is divided into three regions: Flanders in the north (a Dutch-speaking region), Wallonia in the south (a French-speaking region), and the Brussels-Capital Region. It’s a country renowned for its medieval cities and Renaissance architecture, offering lovely sightseeing opportunities and walks. But it’s also a treasure trove of activities and leisure options! Whether you’re near Brussels, Mons, Antwerp, or even Liège, there’s always something to do. So here are a few activities to try if you’re in “the flat country.”
If you’re a beer lover, it would be a shame to be in Belgium and not enjoy this specialty! Renowned for their taste and immense variety, Belgian beers are universally loved. You can sample excellent beers in plenty of bars, but the one we recommend is the Délirium Café, which offers over 2,000 varieties of beer. Enjoy in moderation!
Have a blast in Liège or Mons by challenging each other to an epic quiz game! Immersed in a TV show-style setting, you’ll be facing off with your buzzers as you try to answer the questions correctly. But watch out—your opponents will be ruthless! You’ll all have wild cards—each one more devious than the last—to steal points, block a player, or double your score. Usually, the contestant who uses their wild cards best wins the game. At the Quiz Room©, general knowledge is good, but being clever is better!

An urban activity that’s become a must-do in recent years, Belgium’s cities are brimming with escape rooms—especially in Brussels!

In Brussels, the most well-known escape rooms include Tokyo Lab, the Submarine Bunker, and The White House.
