Young & Hip
Belgium is fast becoming THE destination in Europe for the 20-30 something set. Generation Xers are flocking to cities like Brussels, Namur and around the French-speaking Wallonia for stylish, inexpensive hotels, great food, and a pulsating nightlife.
Cheap Eats: Trendy cafes throughout Belgium are crammed with students and young professionals. You’ll find home away from home comfort food at places like McDonalds. And of course there are Brussels legendary frietkots where they serve Belgian fries for hungry night owls who want to hang out after the restaurants close.
