  • Quirky museum in an old orphanage.

  • Ghent claims to have the largest pedestrianized zone of any city in Europe, making shopping all the more agreeable. Most chain stores are in Veldstraat and Lange Munt, but there’s more charm around the quieter Mageleinstraat and Koestraat.

  • This charming red-brick house where Dutch humanist Erasmus stayed in 1521 is now a museum evoking his work.

  • Chocolates of exquisite quality.

  • Romantic, tree-lined lake formed by a sluice gate on the River Reie – a hectic port in medieval times.

  • A new museum of haute couture .

  • Mussels steamed, until they open, in white wine flavoured with celery, onion and parsley; usually served in something resembling a bucket, accompanied by a plate of frites .

  • A former warehouse contains the dynamic, cutting-edge Museum voor Hedendaagse Kunst (contemporary art).

  • If you visit only one brewery museum, this splendid cobwebby example should be it.

  • Probably the best brewery museum in Brussels, at the quaint old Cantillon brewery (see Musée Bruxellois de la Gueuze).
