What food is Flanders famous for in spring?

White asparagus à la Flamande – a beloved Flemish classic known for its simple yet delicate flavour.

Traditionally served with finely chopped boiled eggs and a rich butter sauce, white asparagus is silky, comforting and unmistakably Belgian.

If you're visiting Flanders during asparagus season, make sure to add this iconic dish to your foodie bucket list 😋

A 'kroegentocht' is a Flemish pub crawl. But this one comes with a 14 km hike through castle country. 🍺

The 'Wildegisten Walk' in Pajottenland takes you past castles, green estates and four legendary beer stops. From Brasserie Graaf to Lindemans, one of Belgium's most iconic producers of lambic, a spontaneously fermented Belgian beer style unique to this region.

To mark 10 years of UNESCO recognition for Belgian beer culture, we're raising a glass to one of the most beer-rich walks in Flanders.

I can't believe people go to Flanders and miss out on hidden gems like this. 🤫

Bruges has an entire side most visitors walk straight past. Medieval wooden facades still standing after centuries. A hidden chapel. A canal so quiet you'll want to stay forever. A garden suburb with cobbled streets and blooming front gardens. And a gunpowder tower on the old city ramparts, overlooking the Lake of Love.
Skip the crowds, discover Bruges like a local.

Which of these would you add to your list? 👇

On May 30, 1640, Peter Paul Rubens passed away, and on June 2 he was laid to rest in St. James’ Church in Antwerp.

After a seven-year conservation and restoration campaign, the church can once again be admired in all its splendour. Rediscover this remarkable space and pay tribute to one of the greatest painters in history. ✨

Rubens’ burial chapel houses an extraordinary ensemble of artworks: from the Baroque altar designed by Antwerp sculptor Cornelis van Mildert to the marble sculpture of the Mater Dolorosa, attributed to Mechelen architect and sculptor Lucas Faydherbe — once a pupil of Rubens himself.

At the heart of the chapel is a work by Rubens’ own hand: ‘Virgin and Child Surrounded by Saints’ (c. 1630). He painted himself as Saint George: young, powerful and victorious. 🖼️

This is a Flemish Masters in Situ site. Discover unique artworks in the very places for which they were created.

There is no better place to experience Rubens than Antwerp — the city where the master lived, worked, and found his final resting place. ❤️
