Top 5 Things to Know Before You Go to Belgium
Take it slow on the heavy beers
Experiencing excitement about finally getting to delve into the country’s famed beer culture is natural, but make sure to steady yourself before setting out to sample every Belgian brew under the sun. The stuff Belgians pride themselves on the most – prized drinks such as Westvleteren 12, Gulden Draak, and Rochefort 10 – tend to fall between the 7.5 to 10.5 percent range. So when you make seasoned Belgian drinking buddies at the bar that can down three of such whoppers in rapid succession without blinking an eye, don’t expect to follow their lead without ending up in the gutter.
No reason to rush: Belgium has no last call
Taking it easy on the flavorful heavy brews means you’ll get to – consciously at least – taste more of them. Belgium is one of few countries where a legally mandated last call is simply not a thing. Many bars will stay open all night if the atmosphere is thriving. Not rushing means you have more than enough time to savor many of Belgium’s finest without becoming a drunken mess in the process.
(the tourist) are actually welcome
Squished between elegant Paris and hip Berlin, quirky Brussels draws the short end of the stick when it comes to tourist numbers. In a funny way, this reason alone is why you should go; aside from Bruges – where tourists mostly annoy each other, and most locals live outside of the medieval center – Belgian cities are hardly suffering from tourist ennui. Brussels proudly identifies as a melting pot, and when a Belgian welcomes you, they’re usually overjoyed to tell you about the things that are unique to their region.
Except for when you nick their beer glasses
The one way for a tourist to get on a Belgian’s bad side, though, is by stealing a beer glass. Like its brews, Belgium takes its glassware seriously. With over a 1,000 different national and local beers on offer, an original glass is designed for almost every single one to make sure the flavors reach their full potential. Many bar owners do their best to stock as many glasses as possible so that you can enjoy your drink of choice the way it was meant to, making it particularly annoying to see a tourist slip one into his or her pocket for a nicked souvenir.

Brussels Beer - Westvleteren 12 & Cantillon Lambic cask
99 Problems but a beer ain't one (in Bruges Belgium)
Felicia wanted to go to the Venice, I wanted to go to a Christmas market. We settled on Bruges Belgium, the Venice of the north. Watch until the end and you will see why this place has that name. Note: The city is deceptively walk-able. You walk from one location to the next and then realize you walked a 10k!
