The Museum Mayer van den Bergh evolved from a private museum into the municipal museum it is today. It is still the gem it once was.
Museum Mayer van den Bergh is built around the collection of one man, and that is still its essence, its strength and its attraction. Even so, in the course of more than a century, a lot has changed, behind the scenes as well. The Museum Mayer van den Bergh was the first museum in the world to be built around a single collection – with a special focus on Bruegel.

The Vleeshuis is a five hundred year old guild hall in the Gothic style. Vleehuis used to house the Butcher’s guild, and acted as a central meat market. Unusually, the current museum has nothing to do with the building’s history, instead being a collection of musical instruments. Detailing the story of minstrels, and choirs up to more modern concerts and dance, it pays for the entrance fee in sheer novelty alone, with the Aida trumpets and antique instruments being of particular note.

The museum is located to the left of the terminal entrance at the airport. it is quite a small museum with just two members of staff when I visited. The museum exhibits cover WW1, WW2 and the history of Stampe. Most of the aircraft on display are WW1 replica aircraft in the main hall, a few Stampe bi-planes and the Magister jet trainer. There is also a diorama of a downed V1 bomb and a lot of uniforms on display. Unfortunately the large number of Stampes and the T6 Harvard are in a hangar which you cannot enter and only view from a raised balcony window.The displays are interesting, particularly the large number of models on display and the WW2 history located upstairs.

The maiden house fits in with the other 16th/17th century museums in Antwerp. However, while the other museums mostly focus on paintings or printed books, here the history of the maiden house itself takes center stage. The building is not as nicely decorated as the other museums, since the orphans were probably raised in modest circumstances. Nevertheless, the chapel is quite nice to see, with some huge paintings that give an impression of what life here may have been like. To me another highlight are the 16th century and other old documents. The inner court is also quite nice. I think they should be able to elaborate more on the history of the building...

Mons was the European Capital of Culture for 2015. One of its main exhibitions, Van Gogh in the Borinage featured the early works of the artist at the moment when he decided to change careers from preacher to painter. The works depict scenes from the coal-mining area of the Borinage, near Mons. As its names suggests, Mons is a hilly town and is rather quiet except for its accents of vibrant cultural life. Besides the changing program of exhibitions and events, you can feast your eyes on the recently built convention center designed by the renowned architect Daniel Libeskind.

Lier is situated in the province of Antwerp. It’s a rather quiet town of almost 35,000 inhabitants, yet there’s quite a lot to see. Maybe surprisingly, Lier has two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, both of which are absolutely stunning. Attached to the town hall, the medieval belfry occupies the center of the pretty town square and is where the visitor center is housed. The second world heritage site is Lier’s historic beguinage, a tranquil and peaceful oasis of cobblestone streets, white row houses, lawns, trees and ponds. This is a great city for a day trip – it is bisected by a calm river, its banks lined with downright gorgeous buildings, and dotted with historic structures !

The foyer of the meeting center is decorated with prestigious works of art which create an ambiance specific to the site — a mix of history and future.
The Max Hallet House ! Dotted around Brussels are some spectacular Art Nouveau buildings put up between 1893 and 1914. The new style first saw the light of day in Ixelles where architects such as Victor Horta and Paul Hankar designed astonishing private houses for rich clients unlike anything seen before.

Hotel Hannon ! This striking Art Nouveau corner house was built by Jules Brunfaut in 1902 for the engineer Eduard Hannon. The interior includes a wistful smoking room with a large bay window and several fin-de-siècle frescos. It is currently closed for renovation work, but you can still admire the outside of the building.

Hôtel Tassel is widely considered the world’s first Art Nouveau building. Built by architect Victor Horta in 1893, the UNESCO World Heritage house (which, contrary to the name, isn’t a hotel) was designed as a home for Belgian scientist and professor Emile Tassel. The building features a trendsetting design that abandoned the traditions of the time for modern materials like iron and glass. A distinctive stone exterior with large curved bay windows encases a stunning interior, the centrepiece of which is a grand staircase that spirals up through the tall townhouse. While visitors can’t freely venture inside, it’s worth passing by to see the building’s striking exterior.

The imposing, square 26 metre-tall tower was built around the year 1100, while the nave was rebuilt in 1712. The coats of arms representing the salmon of Salm above the doorway were hammered and made almost indecipherable by the French revolutionaries at the and of the 18th century. The external gallery is supported by three beams adorned with grimacing faces. From the top of this gallery, relics brought back from the Crusades were presented to pilgrims. Inside, the Baroque oak furniture is the work of the sculptor Jean-Georges Scholtus of Bastogne.

The National Cycling Museum ! A must for any cycling freak who comes to Belgium. It's not very big, but really worth a visit. On the ground floor they have a permanent collection about the history of cycling and bicycles (which is also quite interesting for the non-freaks) and upstairs there's always a changing collection (e.g. the history of the world championships cyclo-cross, history of 20 years the team Flandria,...). There's a very big chance also you'll meet Freddy Maertens, two times world champion, because he works there.

The Belfry of Bruges is a medieval bell tower that sits in Market Square, and it is listed as one of the top things to do in Bruges. It’s 366 steps to reach the top and once you do you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the city. The funny part is trying to take a symmetrical photo of the tower once you’re back on solid ground because the tower is actually tilted a whole meter to the east.

This one’s a bit unusual, but the main attraction in the Basilica of the Holy Blood is, well, Holy Blood. Inside the church you’ll find a phial made of rock crystal filled with blood that was brought to the city by Thierry of Alsace after the 12th century Second Crusade. This phial is believed to contain the blood of Jesus Christ and it’s brought out to be worshipped by believers every day.

The city’s Begijnhof, (Wijngaardstraat, Bruges) a garden complex home to manicured lawns, traditional houses, and a Benedictine convent, dates back to the 13th century, when it was used as a religious place of residence for single women who worked for the church but weren’t nuns. Today, the complex offers unprecedented peace and quiet in the heart of the city, where you can learn all about the practices of the begijnhof from the nuns who still call it home.

On the eastern side of Sint-Baafsplein stands the Cathedral of St. Bavo, a majestic building of brick and granite with a Romanesque crypt of its predecessor, Sint-Jans church. Charles V gave the cathedral its present name after he destroyed the old one to build a fortress. The High Gothic cathedral choir dates from the 13th century, while the late Gothic tower and the main nave were built during the 15th and 16th centuries. The light interior of the cathedral is richly decorated with some unique paintings.

Ghent is a little rebel. People from Ghent are called rope (or: noose) bearers as they seriously rebelled against the regime of the Roman Emperor and Spanish King Charles (Karel) V back in 1539. Charles won and humiliated the people of Ghent by having them parade around town with white undershirts and ropes around their neck. If you stroll the area around Prinsenhof you will find the famous statue remembering this humiliation. There are even restaurants and bars named after this and I am sure you will find more (hidden) references!

Werregarrenstraat, or Graffiti Street, was set up by Ghent city council to combat the problem of graffiti in the city. Anyone can come here with a spray can and paint whatever they like upon the walls. The result is an organic work of art that changes in tome and colour day to day. You can buy a can of spray paint and try it out for yourself for free.

Leave the fuss of shoppers and tourists in the city center and step away from the traffic of Brussels’ small ring to a more peaceful part of town. The Canal area is poised to become the new up-and-coming, trendy neighborhood in the years to come. But for now it makes for a relaxed, lazy walk along the Senne. Colored pinwheels and urban art discontinuously dot the canal. The northern side has a distinct post-industrial attire, but gets greener closer to Tour & Taxis. The route gets busy in some parts, but is worth it for the pockets of peace you’ll encounter along this still relatively unassuming part of Brussels, for as long as it lasts.

The tower was begun about 1300 and by 1338, it was mainly completed. The present-day spire was restored to its original 14th-century form at the beginning of this century and replaced the wooden bell tower of 1380.

Built over a long period of time, Ghent's magnificent town hall combines a variety of architectural styles. On the oldest parts of the building on the Hoogpoort, completed in the style of Bruges City Hall in 1482 and containing the council chambers, the architects Rombout Keldermans and Dominic de Waghemakere built a new wing in the finest late Gothic form, richly decorated with statues.

Immaculately restored in 1962, this former children's hospital - founded in 1363 - is one of Belgium's last remaining Godshuizen. These houses were founded by well-off families for the needy. In a picturesque courtyard are 18 typical Flemish cottages, all interconnected and now housing the extremely comprehensive Museum voor Volkskunde, which with its notable collection of equipment, documents, and everyday objects provides a vivid picture of Flemish folk life around 1900. Of particular interest are the restored workshops and living rooms, a dining room, a barber's shop, a cobbler's workshop, an apothecary's shop, a confectioner's bakery, and a candlestick maker's workshop.

In the east part of the city, across the Slachthuisbrug over the Leie Canal, are the ruins of Sint-Baafsabdij, an abbey founded in 630 by St. Amandus and rebuilt after being destroyed by the Normans in the 10th century. A gallery of the late Gothic cloisters, the octagonal lavatorium, and parts of the chapter house and the refectory still remain from the original abbey. The refectory, with its beautiful 12th-century Romanesque frescoes, is home to the Museum voor Stenen Voorwerpen (Museum for Stone Cutting and Sculpture) and contains an extraordinary collection of medieval tombstones, Ghent sculpture, and architectural artefacts from the 12th to the 18th centuries as well as mosaics.

Some of Belgium's finest guild houses are along the Graslei Canal. This is an excellent place for a stroll for anyone with more than a passing interest in architecture. Check out the adjoining Gildehuis der Vrije Schippers (House of the Free Boatmen), built in 1531 in the Brabant Gothic style, and Gildehuis der Graanmeters (House of the Grain Weighers), with its stepped gable that dates from 1698. Further along, you'll see Tolhuisje (Customs House), a Flemish Renaissance building of 1682, which stands next to the Romanesque Spijker or Koornstapelhuis (around 1200). The Gildehuis der Metselaars (House of the Masons) from 1527 in Brabant Gothic style completes this unique row of guild houses.

This rustic restaurant lies hidden away down a quiet cobbled lane in Uccle commune, south of the city centre. Too hidden, it turns out, for our taxi driver, who ends up hopelessly lost. Most of the people who eat here are locals who come on foot, so the place is still something of a secret. You can dine in the nostalgic bistro interior or outside on the terrace when the weather allows. The €30 menu is fantastic value for Brussels, although you might have to factor in an astronomical taxi fare.

Tucked away down a side street near the flea market, this rambling restaurant is decorated with a bewildering collection of old biscuit tins and coffee grinders. A bit cluttered, perhaps, but the decor fits in well with the grungy antique shops in the neighbourhood. The kitchen produces inventive dishes cooked in Belgian beers, such as scallops simmered in Watou’s Wit from Brouwerij Van Eecke. The long beer list includes hard-to-find local brews: Jambe-de-Bois from Brasserie de la Senne and the stubbornly sour Cantillon for any customers up for a taste challenge.

The long beer list includes hard-to-find local brews: Jambe-de-Bois from Brasserie de la Senne and the stubbornly sour Cantillon for any customers up for a taste challenge.
Most Brussels restaurants are quiet places compared to London or New York. Anything more than a whisper is considered vulgar. But diners at Toucan can raise the roof beams on a busy Friday night, when the kitchen staff put together huge platters of fresh seafood, including sublime oysters from the Atlantic coast and little grey shrimps scooped from the North Sea. The white walls and plain wood furniture add to the maritime mood.

Among Belgium’s eastern countryside, where the low hills are rolling and cows and sheep are grazing, where even a wild deer or two can be spotted, is the town of Herve. The rural landscape is what makes this place remarkably beautiful, and standing at the top of one of the hills you can have an outstanding view of of life far away from the city. Herve is best known for its creamy and pungent yellow soft cheese which is often added to soups to enrich their flavor, or simply placed on a slice of fresh or toasted bread.

In 1953, the bar was taken over by the pianist Stan Brenders who made "L'Archiduc" a famous venue for Belgian jazz. Today, the original décor and Brenders' piano lend a period air to the cocktails and "jazz after shopping" concerts.

The same architect designed all the houses running along the north side of nearby Rue Vanderschrick, as well as several in Avenue Jean Volders. But the interior of La Porteuse d’Eau, although it looks Art Nouveau, is a modern replica.
