From Belgium with love..
There’s so many more top things to do in Belgium than just chocolate, beer and mussels. As you’ll discover in this list of the top things to do in Belgium.
When looking for the top places to visit in Belgium, you will find the country is divided into two: The top half is Dutch-speaking Flanders (Flemish) while the bottom half is French-speaking Wallonia, with the officially bilingual capital of Brussels straddling the two regions. There are also a few German-speaking regions in the east.
This article will bring up several places not in order, but are from my point of view the most tourist destinations in Belgium.
#1 The Grand Place
Belgium’s capital Brussels is filled with wonderful architecture, top museums, shops and restaurants – more than a dozen Michelin starred within five miles of the city centre. Brussels is a city where you can savour a coffee in one of the many terrace cafés in the main square, La Grand Place, surrounded by ornate 17th-century baroque townhouses, guild houses and a gothic Town Hall dating back to the 13th century. In just off the Grand Place you will find the monument everard It is said among locals that the statue of Everard t’Serclaes brings luck and grants the wishes of all who touch it. Many tourists touch (or rather rub) the statue, particularly the arm, because legend has it that rubbing the arm will ensure one’s return to Brussels.
#2 Atomium

#3 Bruges
The capital of West Flanders in northwest Belgiums distinguished by its canals, cobbled streets and medieval buildings. In the city center’s Burg square, the 14th-century Stadhuis (City Hall) has an ornate carved ceiling. Nearby, Markt square features a 13th-century belfry with a 47-bell carillon and 83m tower with panoramic views.
The Markt area also features horse-drawn carriage rides and 17th-century houses converted into restaurants and cafes. The Basilica of the Holy Blood houses a venerable Catholic relic, the focus of a huge parade every Ascension Day. Begun in 1220, the Church of Our Lady took around 200 years to build.
