BELGIUM TRAVEL TIPS FOR FIRST TIMERS | 20+ Must-Knows Before Visiting Belgium + What NOT to Do!

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoy this week's video all about Belgium :) As usual, feel free to add additional tips in the comments, and check out the written version here for more info: happytowander.com/belgium-travel-tips/

Just to let you tourists know: I'm a Belgian myself, and we also think that it's super ridiculous that you have to pay everywhere just to go to the restroom. About that cinema, they're probably talking about the bigger ones here called "Kinepolis". That's also true. You pay a lot of money on your ticket, then you pay too much on drinks/snacks, only to find out that you also have to pay EVERY time you want to use the restroom. So don't worry, even us Belgians think that it's very stupid. :)

As a Belgian I have to say what you say is correct. You know a lot about my country

Just a little additional info: Brussels actually has 35 train stations/stops but North, Central and Midi are the main ones. The next largest ones are Luxemburg and Schuman (which are the stops for the European quarter) but the drop-off is quite large.

We are going to Belgium in 90 days for a week and we found this video so interesting and informative. The best we have found on YouTube. Also found that Belgium tourist site you showed in your screen shots that will help us plan. Thanks for this

I can't believe this video has so many less likes. This is by far the most researched video on this topic than any other I have seen from different channels.

As a Belgian, I don’t often watch videos about Belgium, I must say you’ve summed it up very well. Thanks for your video 🇧🇪 🍟

As someone who lives in Belgium, I have to say this is a great video! Well done on the research and the tips!

Amazing guide. I was agonizing on where to go after Germany, and this made it an easy choice. So awesome that you covered such a wide range. 🥰

Informative and enjoyable video. Thank you for talking about my country. 👍 Greetings from the Belgian Ardennes 😊

Thanks for nice review, will go to belgium next week. Hope can enjoy there all day.

This is GREAT! Thank you so much for the content!

You literally make the best travel videos!

This was super helpful, thank you!

Very informative! It is amazing how you remember all the details. 👌❤🙂

Great video, helpful stuff. I visited Belgium back in 2019 and produced a video on many of the places you mentioned.

The best way in my opinion to get to see the best side of the cities is by talking to locals. Ive had a couple ask me in antwerp where to go for good food i ended up showing them around a little and i am still friends with them (online ofcourse) 7 years later

Fantastic! I went ti Brugges and really loved it, especially the food. Also, amazing how often you post with such high quality content!

That's a very well documented video, and this comes from a true Belgian dude :) Glad to hear someone not focussing on Antwerp and Brugges only ! Glad you enjoyed our weird sense of humour too. I would just have added a word about the citadels in Wallonia (Namur, Dinant, Huy) that are truly stunning (also, cycling from one to another along the Meuse river is a must do I'd say) and about our graphic novel culture (bandes dessinées), although I know from experience with my British and American friends that it's not appealing to anyone not Belgian or French.

Hello ! You can be proud of you. Your description is accurate. Phil, Belgium, Liège. Peace.
