We did not count upon many rainy days at the end of May but here we are again. The Belgian weather is always full of surprises that…. involve strong winds and constant rain, so not the good kind. Here we are again scrambling for indoor activities to keep the kiddo entertained. He recently got into comics so we decided to investigate more into one of his favourite blue, fun-loving characters. Here is what we found out!

Top 5 museums to visit with children in Brussels
During this last year we we had plenty of time to explore Belgium’s indoor and outdoor attractions. We decided to revisit some of our favorite museums and share our impressions with other desperate parents looking for a reason to leave the house while the phone is uncooperatively showing a rainy weather forecast, which almost never happens in Belgium (the rain, not the uncooperation)…..is what I would like to say, but I would be lying.
Here is our ultimate list of museums to visit with children in Brussels, Belgium:

7 trips to do with kids in and around Dinant, Belgium
With the international travel being restricted due to Covid, we attempted to put our wanderlust at ease by scouting great kid-friendly holiday places in Belgium. One such place is Dinant and the area towards the French border. It is part of the Ardennes, the closest thing that Belgium has to a mountain range. We have been in the Ardennes previously in a Center Parks resort (you can read all about it here) and it is a lovely area for nature walks, no matter the season.
Being a rather small country, many of the activities we did in our short Ardennes break can also be done as day trips from Brussels. Of course, if you choose to stay in the Ardennes, all activities become very accessible and can be combined for an action packed day. It is also a good base to venture into North France and continue exploring the Ardennes region.

A short escape in Ghent, Belgium – a stubborn city and an open air museum

A Sunday with wild animals and cava in Antwerp, Belgium
As we are based in Brussels, Antwerp is often our ‘go to’ short getaway. I like how compact and cosy the city center is. You can reach the Central Market in about 20 min walk from the train station. There are nice restaurants and a great coffee culture. Even if the weather is less great (what we call the Belgian microclimate ) there are great places to spend a few hours indoors as well.
