📣 Traveler notes

Belgium is a low-lying country in the Benelux region, known for its mix of historical sites, modern buildings, and countryside. Brussels, the capital, serves as a key center for the European Union.

English is widely accepted as a safe communication language.
Belgians may appear reserved, and building local friendships takes time.
The country has a political sensitivity regarding its regional and linguistic divisions.
Tipping is appreciated but not required in restaurants or bars. Visitors are encouraged to appreciate Belgian goods, including beer, chocolate, fries, and comics. Be mindful of linguistic differences: English is generally safe to use, particularly in Brussels, when navigating regional differences.

About this holiday

The Belgian national football team's history is tied to the Royal Belgian Football Association, which co-founded international governing bodies like FIFA and UEFA. Most home matches are held at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels.
