Belgium is a country known for friendly people, great food(Belgian Waffles!), beer, and culture. Explore the different cities and you’ll find something special and unique about each one.
It’s very worth indulging in the delicious Belgian waffles anywhere in Belgium, but I chose to do so in Brussels. (Sorry U.S., go to Belgium to get the real thing). There are so many flavors to choose from and whatever sugary notion tickles your fancy can and will be satisfied.
I took a trip from the city of Liège (where my boyfriend’s family lives) to Brussels by train. Liège is a charming city with friendly and welcoming locals. It’s nice to see people banter with each other and the familiarity amongst those who live in this quaint city.
The train is very efficient and it gets you to Brussels from Liege in around an hour. It’s also super comfortable and I found the time really flew and before I knew it, I was in Brussels. A trip from Liege costs about 30+ Euros roundtrip. They have ticket machines where you can purchase tickets or purchase directly from the ticket counter.
Brussels is the capital of Belgium and is like many urban cities. There’s a hubbub of many people and tourists alike and lots of commerce.
BELGIUM WAFFLE WITH STRAWBERRY SHAVINGS AND WHIPPED CREAM:
This Belgium waffle was very fluffy, just the right amount of sweet, and I absolutely loved the strawberry-flavored shavings. It gave the waffle some extra oomph. Throw in some airy and decadent whipped cream, and it’s a done deal. Delicious, delectable, and extremely satisfying. The smells emanating from each waffle shop invite you to go inside and indulge!
You can find waffle stands and businesses all throughout Belgium and of course many are in touristy spots in Brussels. We found this spot by walking just a bit outside of the touristy area of the Grand Place.
HIGHLIGHT VIDEO FROM ANOTHER WAFFLE STAND:

This snippet includes another waffle stand’s offerings and as you can see, there is much to choose from: fruit toppings, chocolate (oh la la), and much, much more. It also includes a blown-up version of Mannekin Pis, the most well-known symbol of the people of Brussels. Look at all the yummy choices available! You’ll have a hard time making-up your mind which type of Belgian waffles to try.
