Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Belgium

Belgium might be little yet it’s pressed brimming with sights. UNESCO-acclaimed destinations in the capital city of Brussels go from fourteenth century guildhalls encompassing the rich Grand Place to the mid twentieth century Art Nouveau townhouses of Victor Horta. Bruges is a noteworthy fascination for sightseers, with its superbly saved medieval boulevards rimming quiet trenches that bait runs of explorers every year. In any case, a lot of different towns in the nation – especially Ghent and Mechelen – hold brilliant design cases from the Middle Ages also.
Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Belgium: Brussels, Canals and Belfry of Bruges, Battlefields of Flanders, Ghent’s Gravensteen and Old Town, Horta Museum and Town Houses.

Grand Place, Brussels

La Grand Place, or De Grote Markt in Dutch, is surrounded by beautiful guildhalls and other buildings dating from the 14th to 17th centuries.

The Canals and Belfry of Bruges

Bruges began on the banks of the river Reie, and as it grew, so did a series of waterways connecting it to the Zwin estuary and the North Sea.

The Battlefields of Flanders

For many visitors, Belgium’s role on the front line of World War I, and in particular the Battlefields of Flanders around Ypres are the main reason for a journey here.

Ghent’s Gravensteen and Old Town

This hugely impressive fort was once the grand home of the counts of Flanders, who took their inspiration for castle-building from the bulky castles the Crusaders built in Syria.

Horta Museum and Town Houses

Victor Horta was the most influential architect and designer of the early 20th-century style known as Art Nouveau. Several of his stunning buildings survive in Brussels and now constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Begin at the Horta Museum, located in his former home and studio, which have been preserved as he designed them, with the original stained glass, mosaics, wood work, and decorations.
