So my buddy is visiting Belgium sometime this year for some Coca-Cola work next week. Does anyone have any advice for things he should do/eat/see?

I'm jealous, I want to go across the pond soon

He should go eat in the "amadeo". The best spare ribs of Belgium and it's "eat as much as you can"

So.. which is it?

I was in Belgium for 2 weeks a few summers ago. Oddly enough, I only got a car tour from my friend and got to walk around a bit in Brussels looking for a cellphone company to get my new SIM card for my stay. I landed that day too, so I was jet lagged as I don't sleep well on planes, so I don't remember much.

I did visit the Atomium though and walked through it. That was pretty neat. That was it though, as my friends wanted to get home back to Ghent, so I only stayed in Brussels a max 3 hours. Then I had to leave as they were my ride back to Ghent and I just got off the plane

Then it was time for Gentse Feesten... oh god. If you're ever planning a trip to Belgium, I HIGHLY recommend planning it around that week in the summer. What a fucking amazing time.

In essence, I'm not a big help to this thread. Unless your buddy wants to know about the other cities in Belgium, then I can help. Lol.

Hahaha he said "hey let me know if you find out anything about Brussels" and then I asked him when he was going, so I just appended "next week" onto it, even though I had already written this year. TL;DR: I'm a moron.

In terms of beers, all the imported beers from Belgium we get in the States and Canada taste a whole lot different from the same beers in Belgium.

I'd still suggest trying all of their Trappist ales and beers though. The stuff you might not be able to get in Canada/US because of the fact some of them might be brewed by a monastery in some god forsaken town over there

I suggest you visit Ghent & Brugge- fav places I visited while on my backpacking trip. I promised myself I'd return there since 3 days just wasn't enough..the food, the people, the ambiance, the beer (best beer, imo)...everything about those cities left me scarred with great memories.

He should go to Bruges.

In Brussels I dunno, only been near the train station for a few hours. He might find the Belgian Comic Strip Center enjoyable? (Tintin, Astrix, The Smurfs, etc)
