Beautiful and peaceful place with great facilities and warm hospitality. The vegetarian food was delicious, and everything was well-organized and clean. Easy to reach with good parking. A lovely cultural and spiritual experience – highly recommended!

The audiotour worked very well throughout the castle and was very informative. It is very beautiful inside. We went late in december and each room was decorated for Christmas. Which we liked very much and looked very cosy. On the Castle grounds was a stall where you could enjoy hot drinks and food. Of which we got hot chocolate, crepes and in the Christmas theme mulled wine. The food and drinks were good, not bad, not great just normal good food.

The most amazing experience!!! The tour only costs 15 euros and it includes an interactive history tour about the brewery and the beer tasting with Leffe beer glasses as gifts!! The staff members were amazing and the atmosphere was lively. 10/10 would come here again!!! Definitely go visit if you are in Dinant

Secret place. Great people, food, and very local beers.

The bridge offers a beautiful view of the city center. Here you can take a tourist tram to explore the whole city. Near the bridge, further down the street, there are boat stops for a walk along the river. It's definitely worth doing.

This was my favorite cathedral I saw in Belgium. I love the dark green/gray stone and the mountain-church vibe. The stained glass window is absolutely breathtaking. It is very large and brilliantly colored with the sunlight illuminating it. There is a row that depicts women in the scriptures which was so cool to see.

The ticket to cable car and citadel is included. The steps are more but its worth to climb as view gets better. The world war museum is interesting and they also give tablets to listen as guide. There is a small souvenir shop, but i found better magnets and glasses in the store below the citadel. And there was little waiting period for cable car.

Despite being a little bit on the older side of amusement parks the quality was really enjoyable. The animals looked taken care of and the premises were nice and tidy and everything seemed safe. Every attraction has a person overseeing this activity, so nothing can go wrong. My kids loved it and so did we :) it's crazy this is a 3 minute drive from Huy's city center!

What a tremendous experience. The premises are huge and historically loaded. It’s a real maze, a masterpiece of military architecture bearing the signature of several major military architects like Vauban. The hosted city museum and the 7km long (4 accessible) well preserved tunnels are awesome. Adding a bit of nature, wandering, physical activity and a lot of friendliness, you’ve got a wonderful experience and the need to come back and discover the actual City.

Fabulous artist, insane to think he dared to paint and draw what he did in the 19th century. The museum itself is really nice, clean, well-lit, and the staff at reception is calm and friendly. Great souvenirs and high-quality prints in the museum shops.

Wonderful museum, definitely visit if you have the chance! Every first Sunday of the month - visiting the museum is free.

Very large, beautiful bar-restaurant-taproom of Wilderen Brewery. Good service, warm and cosy on a January weekend! Goodenu, excellent beer. Strongly recommended.

So beautiful in the nature!! You must come with equipment for off road. Otherwise you will be a piggy. Super quiet and calm place to be!!

A fantastic way to spend a couple of hours in Belgium. This museum is located 40minutes away from Brussels by train but is well worth the visit. The interactive quiz that guests solve as they walk through the museum is an uniquely engaging strategy indeed. The props and storyboards as well as the audio guide make the world of Herge come alive. The museum gift shop is also lovely with some items priced decently so that no one leaves for home empty handed. A must see place when visiting Belgium.

Instructor Max deserves his name. He is 'the max'. We had a fantastic flight from Oostende (EBOS) to Inverness (EGPE). Flying on AP for about 1 hour while being instructed every single function of the overhead panel and preparing the ILS for Inverness in detail. Smooth, almost perfect landing on the rather short runway. Passengers Fabienne and Harmony thoroughly enjoyed the flight as well. June 6th 2024 Yes I did it again, and with Max. Two slots of 2 hours, each of them feeling like half an hour. I explicitly ask for Max to be the instructor. I was not disappointed, he still is the same professional and funny guy I met a year ago. You want to fly with Max, don't wait too long, I think he might get his full license soon, so he won't need the simulator any more.

Here my detailed review: Entry fee & Parking: Parking is shared with walibi theme park. 13€ is kinda expensive but if you pay parking at the Aqualibi desk, its only 11€. The entry fee for Aqualibi is around 35€ which is ok but also not cheap but on the limit. Sadly there is no combi ticket together with the theme park. Also a chip wristband paying system could be useful, so you dont have to bring a wallet to the pool bar. Since Aqualibi is open till 10pm, it offers a nice additional experience after spending a day at Walibi, which closes already at 6pm. I entered Aqualibi at 5pm. The crowds were mid and only the new slides had some waiting. Changing rooms: The changing rooms are clean, its also unisex. Lockers are fine and are NO upcharge. Also note their clothing policy, they dont allow shorts. Pools: The main pool area is themed to some degree and features some rockwork. It has a medium sized wave pool, which can be pretty packed. The waves were only turning on once in the 2,5 hours I was there. There is also a nice relaxing Lagoon with some whirlpools. Kids play areas are right next to the Lagoon. For the ambient temperature it was kinda chilly at some spots (outdoors it was 20°C) with lots of AC running. The water temperature was just right. The cleanliness in the pools was not so great but thats usual if there is lots of people. Slides: So this is the park's main focus. The dome with the wave pool offers some slides (these are the older ones). Here you have some chill tire slides (like Bi-bob) but also some faster slides like Flash and Extreme (this one has a nasty direction change where you almost flip over). Next to the lagoon, there is the very well themed Rapido river slide. This one is lots of fun with much variation and even features a "disco" cave. Its a very chaotic and wild slide. Only minus is that they dont regulate how many people are on the Rapido, I felt like being in a "people avalanche" where you constantly bump into others or they bump into you. For the new slides, you had to wait a bit (max. 10-15min). You wait at the bottom to get a tire and then walk up to the slide's start. The slide with the bowl and with the half pipe were very popular, fun and exciting. The slides where you lie belly down on a mat are also fun but not as fast and exciting. The banzai slides (featuring 2 uphill passages) was nice but way too short and kinda slow. Cool idea but not as exciting as the others. Also not that banzai requires 2 people on a tire/boat, if you are below 68kg. After around 6pm the waits dropped significantly to even zero on most slides. (Was there on a friday) For me 3h were enough to have a good time and experience everything and doing multiple laps on the slides. Verdict: ++ slide selection ++ great in the evening after being at Walibi + theming, especially on rapido + free lockers ~ mid cleanliness ~ pricing not cheap but also not expensive ~ no chip payment wristbands

So, we hit up this awesome theme park on Monday, rolling in around 10 am. Parking was super easy to find and cost us 13 bucks per car—not bad at all! Even though we got there pretty early, the place was already buzzing, so my advice? Try to arrive even earlier if you can. It’s a themed park, and honestly, the vibe is totally unique. Make sure you grab a guide brochure as soon as you walk in—super handy for planning your day. The rides are just amazing; I can’t even pick a favorite, but we ended up riding KONDAA three times—couldn’t get enough! The restrooms are spotless and kept up really well. Plus, they’re everywhere and even match the theme of each area—super cool touch. When you need a break, the food court’s a great spot. Prices for food and drinks are pretty fair for a place like this, so no complaints there. Every corner of the park looks fantastic, and I took a ton of photos—couldn’t help myself! The staff were super helpful, and loads of them spoke English, French, or Dutch, so communication was a breeze. If you want to chill, there are plenty of tables and chairs for picnics, and you’re allowed to bring your own food and drinks, which is awesome. And when it’s time for a ride, there are lockers right there so you can stash your stuff and grab it after—super convenient. Honestly, for what you pay, you get so much out of it. I’d totally recommend bringing your friends or family here for a fun day out. Big thanks to all the Walibi Belgium team for making our visit so memorable!

This boat lift is an example of magnificent engineering. It overcomes a height difference of 73m and until 2016, when the boat lift in the three georges dam in China took over, the tallest boat lift in the world. It was completed in 2002 together with the canal and aquaduct nearby. The lift has two counterweighted caissons (tanks) of 118m long, 16,5m wide, and 8 meter high. There are eight large counterweights connected via 144 steel cables to each tank. Four huge electric motors drive the vertical movement of each tank. You can visit the eight floor where you have a museum, a video presentation and where you can see the big machinery hall. On that level is also a cafetaria. On your way out, you can stop on level five for a panoramic look outside. When I was there (May 2025) there were no large ships lifted or lowered due to a collapsed bridge which blocked the canal north of the lift. Only small pleasure boats used the lift.

Immersive and unforgettable! A fantastic experience from start to finish. The 3D movie was a real highlight—so well done and emotional. The museum is super interactive, with creative displays, sound effects, and hands-on elements that make the history feel alive. The outdoor reenactment camp and Lion’s Mound added to the atmosphere, and everything is really well organized and accessible. Perfect for history lovers and curious visitors alike!

It’s such a historical location which really worth going. Full of red-bricked buildings. It seemed entering to another world. Just walk through those little streets and almost forgot the time. We just walk here amd there and took many nice pictures. This is a really amazing area. I really enjoyed the time spending there.

The Royal Palace of Brussels (Palais Royal de Bruxelles) stands as a prominent landmark in the city and serves as the official palace of the Belgian monarchy. Situated in the heart of Brussels, it faces the Brussels Park (Parc de Bruxelles). While it is not the royal family's residence—they live in the Castle of Laeken—the palace hosts official state functions and events.

Little gem of a town of the standard tourist track, with lovely medieval streets and plenty of cafes/bars/restaurants in the centre. Head out towards the Begijnhof to experience some really old cobbled streets that seem to be untouched by modern standards

Beautiful green oasis in the center of Leuven. I really loved the big sequoia tree and the wisteria trees. There were some amazing smells of the flowers also. We just spent some time here walking around and taking a break on some of the benches here

Hallerbos is a stunning forest in Belgium, famous for its bluebell carpet that blooms in spring. The forest offers scenic walks, a forest museum, and a rich history. It is a great place to enjoy nature and relax. Hallerbos is managed by the Agency for Nature and Forest, and is accessible by public transport or car. I highly recommend visiting this forest, especially during the bluebell season.

Gaasbeek Castle is definitely worth a visit. They recently finished a renovation that took almost three years, and it really shows. The castle looks great, both inside and out. They've done a good job of keeping a lot of the original items, so it feels very authentic and you get a real sense of the history. It's quite informative as you walk through. The castle garden is also a highlight. It's really beautiful and well-maintained, with different sections to explore. It's a nice place for a relaxed stroll. The wider castle grounds are good for hiking too. You can easily spend some time walking around and enjoying the scenery. Just a heads-up, while the castle and grounds are excellent for adults and older visitors, the interior with its historical artifacts might not be the most engaging for very young children. Teenagers and up would probably get more out of it. Overall, it's a very good experience if you're looking for a historical day out with impressive grounds. There are 2 free of charge parkings, You can buy a combo tickets for the castle and the castle garden. I personally find the garden - a garden,with flowers, fruit trees, nothing extra ordinary.

I was pleasantly surprised by this park, it's way better than i was expecting, better than de Efteling. Highly recommend going, and the main coaster Fury is insanely good, wow! The park has something for everyone. I'll be back! Shame about the weather when we went but that actually helped as there were no queues at all!

A great resort to take the kids, a large lake with a sandy beach, shallow enough for youngsters. It has water sports and an aqua park. The caravan touring areas are located under pine trees to give shade and electric hookup is close to the pitch. The toilets/showers block are very good but showers are not free, they use a pre-paid €25 card with code system. Too up the card when required. Entertainment by the beach when we were there. We only stayed one night whilst in transit back home but would consider a longer transit stop in future.

If you're anywhere near Antwerp or crossing through Belgium, Wijnegem – Shop Eat Enjoy is an absolute must-visit. This isn’t just a mall — it’s easily one of the largest and most vibrant shopping outlets in Belgium, and it truly lives up to its name. Our family stopped by on a spontaneous detour, and to our surprise, the kids absolutely loved it. From the lively atmosphere to the sheer variety of stores, there’s something here for everyone — whether you’re after fashion, gifts, or just a good time. You’ll find big international brands like Zara alongside a whole range of European favourites, and of course, a delightful Belgian chocolate shop that was impossible to walk past without buying something sweet. Spacious, clean, and well-organised, it’s also very family-friendly with food courts, plenty of seating, and enough to keep kids engaged while parents explore. It’s the kind of place where a “quick stop” can easily turn into a half-day treat. Massive variety, family-friendly, and full of surprises — this is retail therapy done right. Will definitely return.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Shopping Experience! Waasland Shopping is a fantastic mall with a great mix of stores, dining options, and entertainment. The layout is spacious and clean, making it a pleasant place to shop. I especially love the variety of brands—from fashion to electronics—so there’s something for everyone. The food court offers tasty choices, and the free parking is a huge plus! The staff in most stores are friendly and helpful, which makes the shopping experience even better. The only minor downside is that it can get quite busy on weekends, but that’s expected for such a popular spot. Overall, Waasland Shopping is one of the best malls in the area—definitely worth a visit! 👍 Pros: ✔ Wide variety of stores ✔ Clean and modern atmosphere ✔ Good food options ✔ Free and ample parking 👎 Cons: ❗ Can be crowded during peak hours Final Verdict: Highly recommended for shopping, dining, or just a casual stroll!
