5 jolies villes flamandes à découvrir au plus vite

When we think of traveling in cities, we tend to forget our country. Or prefer the main cities there. How about Fleming’s side being out of the crowd?

Amazing landscapes, fascinating cultural heritage, sea views… in Flanders, the offers are diverse! Even outside Ghent or Antwerp! The proof of these 5 cities is as charming as the plural.

Visit these cities in northern Belgium

The city of Flanders is exotic, unlike their Wallonian neighbors. They are rich in heritage and contain many green corners and water spots. Bicycle fans will be fuller than ever: Flemish cities are more suitable for the joy of bicycles than our villages!

1.

25 minutes from Tournai, from Brussels to 1H15, the cultural richness of Courtrai will surprise you. This town with bet adjustment manages to mix history and modernity, creating shops, bars, hotels, museums… stylish and innovative. It is not nothing, it is part of the UNESCO “Creative City Network”!

What should we do? Visit the brochure tower, the ruins of the city and the bell tower, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Look at an old textile factory “Budafabriek” that has become a place for artistic creation. Or take a “deformed city” walk to discover Courtari has encouraged years of innovation. We like to walk there in cobblestone alleys and then follow the water.

2. Mechelen, picturesque scenery

Mechelen is located between Brussels and Antwerp, and her stylish address and green corners will seduce you to the size (neither small nor too large). Thanks to its 2 radio stations, it is easy for tourists to enter the city. Then ride a bike to avoid the charm of the alley. When it comes to shopping, you are spoiled and many shop windows make you want to push the door.

What should we do? Climb to the top of the Santa Romta Tower and visit the great treasures listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site. Check out the museum’s Hof Van Busleyden and the D’Austria palace. Finally, strolled on the floating path, on Dyle.

3. Hasselt, green

1H15 from Liège and Brussels, we like Hasselt, the capital of Limburg Province. This student city is perfect for escape for a weekend: green spaces, shopping, museums, food…you will find happiness no matter the center you are interested in!

What should we do? Visit the Fashion Museum and Herkenrode Abbey. Stroll through Japanese gardens: It is the largest in Europe! Shopping in Aldestraat. Or treat yourself in one of the Michelin-Micherin-Micherin restaurants: de Vork, Ogst and Jer. There are 3, yes!

4. Genk, the re-examined past

Also in Limburg Province, Genk is also an art family. It hosts many fun cultural events, child-friendly walks and addresses. She has not forgotten her mining past, she transformed it into a creative pole, just like having exhibitions, concerts and dramas on the C-Mine Industrial website. You will see, this is amazing!

What should we do? Go to Thor Central and C-Mine. Stroll in Labiomista (Museum of Modern Art) or the famous provincial field Bokrijk. The latter has an atypical loop path that crosses the water, time In the 100 most beautiful places in the world.

5. Lu Fan, busy

Louvain is only 30 minutes from Brussels and is well known (especially due to its university’s Ku Leuven), and is not visited as part of the city trip. However, the City of Students is full of life and activity. We love its friendly atmosphere, its historic center and many breweries.

What should we do? Visit the Grand Plaza of the Town Hall and St. Pierre Church. Visit the Grand Béguinage, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the M Leuven Museum, a high-end art venue in the city. Stopped in one of the central breweries, such as Stella Artois. And end your day at a concert at Het Depot, a room of about 1,000 people, just across the station.
