Experience Our Belgium

Our customized, private insider tours of Belgium feature our favorite places and experiences in the country.

Memorable moment...

Enjoying a snack at our favorite frites stand while surrounded by beautiful Gothic architecture.

Unusual museum...

The UNESCO-listed Plantin-Moretus Museum, housed in a former residence and printing establishment, provides a fascinating insight to life in the 16th and 17th centuries via its collection of period furniture, Old Masters artwork, historical manuscripts and two of the oldest printing presses in existence.

Romantic experience...

Wandering the deserted medieval lanes of Bruges on a moonlit night.

Keep in mind...

Some of the country’s most significant works of art, such as Hubert and Jan Van Eyck’s extraordinary Adoration of the Mystic Lamb (also known as the Ghent Altarpiece), are found in cathedrals and churches.

Did you know...

In Belgium, each type of beer has its own uniquely shaped glass.

Jewish touring...

Belgium is replete with Jewish heritage sites, such as the excellent Jewish Museum of Deportation and Resistance (Kazerne Dossin) in Mechelen and the synagogues, diamond workshops and kosher bakeries in Antwerp’s vibrant Jewish Quarter.

Memorable hotel experience...

Enjoying an after-dinner drink at Bar Amigo, the Hotel Amigo’s cozy bar.

Don’t miss...

Marveling at the technical mastery of Peter Paul Rubens and his contemporaries at the Rubenshuis, his former home and studio in Antwerp.

Compare and contrast...

Two distinct types of waffles are readily found in Belgium: Brussels-style, which are lighter and rectangular-shaped, and Liege-style, which are denser, sweeter and slightly oval-shaped.

For fashionistas...

Learn about the Antwerp Six at MoMu, Antwerp’s fashion museum, then browse the boutiques of noted Belgian designers such as Ann Demeulemeester and Dries van Noten.

Trace your family history at the Red Star Line Museum, which commemorates the millions who emigrated across the Atlantic during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Kids love...
