Belgium is small — you can visit Brussels, Bruges, Ghent, and Antwerp in one trip easily by train.
Language matters: Dutch in the north (Flanders), French in the south (Wallonia), both in Brussels.
Train connections to Paris, London, and Amsterdam are fast via Thalys and Eurostar.
Визовые требования зависят от гражданства и часто меняются. Перед поездкой уточните информацию в посольстве своей страны или в официальном иммиграционном ведомстве пункта назначения.

Насколько это безопасно?
4/5
Generally safe. Brussels has some areas with higher crime (around Gare du Midi, parts of Molenbeek) — stick to tourist areas. Bruges and Ghent are very safe. Belgium has a visible security presence due to its status as EU capital.
От каких мошенничеств стоит остерегаться?
Pickpocketing around Brussels' Grand Place and on metro lines.
Fake charity petitions used as distraction for theft.
Overpriced tourist restaurants near Grand Place — walk a block or two for better value.
Какие меры предосторожности для здоровья важны?
Excellent healthcare. EU citizens can use EHIC/GHIC. Pharmacies are well-stocked.
Healthcare is affordable even for non-EU visitors compared to many Western countries.
Какие прививки обязательны?
Routine vaccines only. No special requirements.
Можно ли пить воду из-под крана?
Tap water is safe throughout Belgium.
Есть ли действующие предупреждения для путешественников?

Что важно знать о культуре?
Что стоит делать?
Try Belgian beer — there are over 1,500 varieties. Each beer has its own glass.
Visit Bruges by foot or boat — the medieval center is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Buy chocolate from artisan chocolatiers, not tourist shops — the difference is remarkable.
Чего стоит избегать?
Don't call Belgian fries 'French fries' — they were invented in Belgium and it's a sore point.
Don't speak French in Flanders or Dutch in Wallonia without asking — language is politically sensitive.
Don't limit yourself to Brussels — the best of Belgium is in its smaller cities.
Как принято оставлять чаевые?
Service charge is included by law. Small tips (rounding up) are appreciated but not expected. Leave €1–2 for good service.
Какой дресс-код?
Smart-casual in cities. Belgians dress neatly but not ostentatiously. No specific dress codes at most restaurants.
Каков религиозный контекст?
Historically Catholic. Beautiful cathedrals and churches welcome visitors. Belgium is secular and progressive in daily life.
