While the capital of Belgium is <a href="kavval://cities/40b26d4f-e325-44fa-b793-cf46d88e4992" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brussels</a>, the top attraction for travelers in Belgium is the Venice of the North, <a href="kavval://cities/c6fcc769-5628-4372-bd3a-5680bfbc8da1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bruges</a>! This medieval city, surrounded and crisscrossed by canals, is a beautiful place to visit. Just like the "real" <a href="kavval://cities/79e4205f-ef8d-4d4b-93bd-6abd5ef9b334" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Venice</a> in <a href="kavval://countries/bf9d0ae3-bd54-4be7-8994-c53c42cfd0f3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Italy</a>, Bruges owes its architectural wealth to the golden era of merchants. It's worth noting that in the 15th century, the city was one of the most powerful in Europe... Brussels, on the other hand, is also highly appreciated by its guests, especially for its vibrant cultural activities. Music, theatre, painting, Brussels is alive day and night! <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintin_(character)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tintin</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirou_(comics)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spirou</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_Luke" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lucky Luke</a> are the spearheads of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_comics" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Belgian comics</a>, known worldwide for which you'll find traces in Brussels... Painters 🧑🏻‍🎨 have also left a mark on the country's history. Embark on a discovery of the numerous museums showcasing works by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Magritte" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Magritte</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Paul_Rubens" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rubens</a>, or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Ensor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ensor</a>, to name just a few... Liège, located near the borders with the <a href="kavval://countries/1bfd63ee-f86d-4fb0-aefb-f57e748d643e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Netherlands</a> and <a href="kavval://countries/88499f9e-b753-44b7-9b26-8baad00b18e8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Germany</a>, is a former principality. The city's prestige, governed for centuries by a prince-bishop, is especially evident in its many religious buildings, including the Saint Paul's Cathedral. The Coteaux de la Citadelle district is sure to win your vote... Let's take advantage of the city's relief to show you that Belgium is not as flat as you might think! The Province of Liège, in fact, is home to the High Fens nature reserve, where the highest point in Belgium, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_de_Botrange" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Signal de Botrange</a> (694 meters), is located. Nature lovers will delight in the fauna and flora of this region, covered in bogs and <a href="kavval://tags/forest" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">forests</a> 🌲, like the Hertogenwald. The country's <a href="kavval://tags/seaside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">coastline</a> to the west is popular with Belgians for its beaches, especially when the sun is shining ☀️. Oh yes, almost forgot: check the weather before choosing your weekend in Belgium, the weather can sometimes be cold 🥶 and rainy 💦... But you can always enjoy a good Belgian beer to warm up. With Belgium's climate not being suited for grape cultivation, Belgian Monks took their "revenge" by producing beer 🍺. And the quality is still there, centuries later. Enjoy responsibly...... especially if you're coming to run in Belgium! Just look at how the "almost" flat country has whipped up a nice race calendar for you. Whether <a href="kavval://pages/30300aa8-919d-44ac-8ca6-015258ce663e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on the road</a>, on the <a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trails</a>, or for <a href="kavval://pages/5b49242e-6288-4e30-8649-74eb1ab8563f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">walkers</a>! The homeland of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_Merckx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Eddy Merckx</a> hosts a bunch of cool races, some with evocative names! How about taking on the challenge of <a href="kavval://events/68f174bb-1142-45e8-879d-656c7a17aa26" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Last One Standing</a>, a race part of the <a href="kavval://tags/utmb-world-series" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UTMB® World Series</a> offering various courses (<a href="kavval://pages/16eb00b2-dceb-4d02-a529-7383287dd5d7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Discovery Trail</a>, <a href="kavval://pages/e491137f-198b-4414-a832-7aefb0439dec" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Short Trail</a>, <a href="kavval://pages/4ce0ea33-aa06-4ed4-98b2-aa5ee46683e3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Long Trail</a>) including one over 150 km? You didn't think you were going to Belgium to suffer, did you?! Well, prove wrong the <a href="kavval://events/884d56d8-e77a-4ca4-ba30-da9e78c95b86" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">600 Boitheux Trail</a> (in <a href="kavval://cities/64a54606-9e74-422e-9f0d-5b0697f0965b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Theux</a> near Liège) by finishing it with dignity! Road race enthusiasts have already marked the <a href="kavval://events/34126ea3-acb1-4e8a-a73a-4379e12b362d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brussels Marathon</a>, held in the Belgian capital. Not far from there, to the south of the city, the Soignes Forest hosts the <a href="kavval://events/79d79c70-45b4-4d1b-b747-90ab8d121a64" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brussels Trail</a> every year! Lastly, let's not forget the walkers who can have a field day at the magical <a href="kavval://events/6496508f-942d-4a8f-ad7b-626846b5bb28" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fairy Trail</a>. This event takes place in <a href="kavval://cities/95f59a44-b4d1-4f5c-a5fc-e439d571557d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bertrix</a>, in the southeast of Belgium, in the country's least densely populated province. Quietly in the forest 🌲, in the midst of the Flemish Ardennes...Belgium is no joke.
