Go Recreational Cycling in Belgium
There are numerous opportunities for recreational cycling in Belgium, including organised events taking place through the country. I explain what to expect, and suggest some cycling events you might like to join.
Discover the château of Modave
Enjoy a tour around the 17th century château of Modave, followed by a walk along the Hoyoux river valley. For a day out with a bit of variety, try a trip down to Modave in the Ardennes. You can park in the grounds of the château of Modave. […]
Het Zwin Nature Park
Het Zwin Nature Park outside Knokke-Heist on the Belgian coast has been completely revamped. It’s a wonderful place to visit to learn about birds, and see them in real life. In the visitor centre you can learn all about bird migration, and then on the nature trail you can see the birds from special observation hides. Highly recommended for kids!
Three walks in the Mollendaal Forest
Three walks in the Mollendaal Forest near Bierbeek. Ideal for a cool shady walk in a heatwave!
Goalmine Football Museum, Genk
A highly enjoyable museum to visit – especially with football-crazy kids! But you don’t have to be a football fan to enjoy this museum. It’s located in FC Genk’s stadium, and heavily features the club’s history. You can even dress up as a Genk supporter!
A Surprising Source of Super Sustenance
Just what I didn’t expect, but very much needed, especially after walking 23 kilometres on a hot day. Intrigued to discover what nourishment I found in the middle of nowhere?
Explore Gent by boat!
Taking a 45-minute boat trip along the River Leie is a great way to see another side of Gent
How to spend a day in Gent
Explore the lovely city of Gent in Belgium with this walking tour that takes in brunch, lunch, a castle visit, plenty of churches and some of the most beautiful buildings in Belgium
Floralia: The Bold and the Beautiful
Enjoy the wonderful sight of over 1 million flowering bulbs in the grounds of the Castle of Groot-Bijgaarden
Tongeren: The oldest town in Belgium
When a town promotes itself as the oldest in Belgium, it’s tempting to wonder how much evidence of this claim is still visible. Visit Tongeren, and its credentials are right in front of you: city walls from the first century, and a Roman archaeological site from the fourth. It’s also got an excellent Gallo-Roman Museum
Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917
The Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 is dedicated to the horrendous bloodbath that was the Battle of Passchendaele. It displays numerous artefacts from the battle, a Dugout Experience that takes you underground into a mock-up of the British Army’s quarters, and reconstructions of trenches.
