Her travels through Wallonia on rail-bike, enjoying mussels in Brussels, visiting 14th century castle ruins and even tasting traditional Trappist beer at a working monastery are featured sites and activities on ‘Belgium for Romance & Honeymoons.’
“We’ve had a heart-warming response to The Bachelorette episode which beautifully showcases the romantic side of Belgium,” says Francoise Haffreingue, Executive Manager of the Belgian Tourist Office – Brussels-Wallonia. “Maybe we’re not the first country that comes to mind when thinking of a honeymoon destination, but Brussels and Wallonia are a hidden surprise for lovers because they provide the essence European charm and elegance in a nutshell.”
In addition to sites and activities featured on The Bachelorette, ‘Belgium for Romance & Honeymoons’ highlights soft adventures for couples such as hot air ballooning and cultural suggestions such as culinary tours, jazz festivals as well as medieval castles that double as hotels and wedding venues.
