Luxury holidays in Belgium

Famous for its chocolate, mediaeval architecture and potent beers, Belgium packs quite a cultural and culinary punch for a country with a relatively compact frame. Brussels, a capital not only for Belgians but the 500 million people that live in Europe, has an appropriately worldly character: spend days touring grand government buildings, Japanese gardens and galleries filled with the work of European masters. Closer to the coast, the port city of Ghent is full of gingerbread-like houses and gothic churches – but it’s also fast becoming a hotspot for innovative restaurants and cool cocktail bars.

Destinations in Belgium

  • Antwerp

    Antwerp
    Antwerp has always had an eye for beauty and life’s finer things; how else would the thriving port and city have become the glittering centre of the world’s diamond industry and be at the cutting edge of avant-garde minimalist fashion?
  • Bruges

    Bruges
    Bruges’ perfectly preserved mediaeval beauty may not be the best kept secret in travel, but you’d have to be made of cynical stuff not to fall for its step-gabled facades, criss-crossing canals and cobblestoned streets.
  • Brussels

    Brussels
    As the de facto capital of Europe, Brussels has a lot to live up to, but it steps into the role of Euro-culture melting pot with architectural, gastronomic and cosmopolitan élan.
  • Ghent

    Ghent
    Northwest Belgium’s port city Ghent has an impressive mediaeval core that’s dotted with towers and spires, thanks to a handful of imposing cathedrals and the 12th-century Gravensteen castle.
  • Rochefort

    Rochefort
    A launchpad for the traditional hunting grounds of the Belgian Ardennes, Rochefort in Wallonia has evolved its game to attract those in search of more peaceful pastoral pursuits, too.
