Belgium is an underrated country of Europe but backpacked need to explore this wonderful place. After all the Belgium chocolates and the popular Belgium truffles come from Belgium itself. This European country is a small area geographically and although it might not be appropriate for a hard core backpacking trip, the place is still worth a visit.
The capital of Belgium, Brussels is where the EU’s headquarters is located, though it’s an office building which is very tastefully and expensively decorated and has nothing more to offer, many backpackers think it worth a visit. Brussels has other hot spots like the “Church of Our Lady Of Sablon”, Atomium antique market on Sundays and a tour that is in the shape of an atom, which was built way back in 1958. The second largest port Antwerp is a city filled with high end fashion including several branded boutiques along with exclusive outlets housed all lover the city. Backpackers can indulge in shopping at a range of places, from the antique markets on Sunday which is reasonably priced to the exclusive showroom of brand and goods. The city can be expensive, so during summer time it is advisable to pack a tent, like the Coleman Rigel X2, and take advantage of the numerous campsites the city has to offer. Moreover, the port Antwerp is also known for its wonderful night life with a variety of contemporary bars and pubs which livens up the otherwise dull known country of Belgium. The place also has many historical spots to visit including museums like the “Royal Museum of fine arts” and the “national Maritime Museum”.
Backpackers who wish to travel to a much quieter place and independent of noise and crowd can visit a place called Ghent which earlier was known to be a medieval city in Europe. Ghent has some hot spots that a backpacker would like to visit, like the St Bavo’s cathedral, the same place where Charles the fifth was baptised and also can visit the caste of Counts which is surrounded by the Lieve canal, making it a place a must to visit for quiet self indulgence and exploration.

Planning a tour or any other outing is very important. It becomes essential to pack all the important items to be carried along.
Backpacking has been around for quite sometime now. Some guys themselves have been doing it for decades now.
