Family
In the land of chocolate and Smurfs - what's not for children to love? Belgium is a great family destination where kids, big and little, can enjoy museums, festivals, castles, theme parks and gardens and much more while learning about Belgium and Europe in a nutshell. The Smurfs, Tintin, Snowy and Marsupilami are all animated characters that have sprouted from the imagination of Belgian cartoonists, for Belgians tend to remain children at heart even as adults. Visit a castle as a leader of the crusades or get lost in a garden maze. Explore the most spectacular caves in Han. The opportunities for family fun are endless.
