Belgium may be small on the map, but its festival calendar is full of life. When summer arrives, music spills into open fields and city squares. During carnival season, centuries-old traditions return with colourful costumes, drums, and dancing.

You get off the train at Brussels Central or Brussels Midi, backpack on your shoulder, and the first real decision of the trip is where you are going to sleep.
