Belgium has a lot to offer to travelers, no matter what they are looking for. From amazing cities like Antwerp and Ghent to delicious food, nature, and the most charming small towns—you’ll find many different ways to enjoy visiting this European country. Here are three of our favorite Belgian small towns you can visit the next time you’re in Europe.

Bouillon

The medieval castle that overlooks the town is the main attraction here. It dates back to the 8th century, but it’s not all you can see in Bouillon. It’s the perfect destination if you like spending time in nature, as there are plenty of walking paths, forests, steep hills and cliffs you can climb, etc.

De Haan

De Haan is a popular seaside village located in the north of the country. Many people come here in the summertime but the town hasn’t changed much over time. You can still enjoy the original charm reflected in the old architecture more than anything else. The beach is enjoyed by locals and visitors equally.

Torgny

Belgium may not be known for wine, but the Torgny village is an exception to the rule. Its microclimate makes it perfect for growing grapes and the locals use this to make exceptional wine. Combined with picturesque streets, that’s more than enough to make you want to visit.
