of Europe and the European Union, Belgium is one curious small country. Smushed between France, the Netherlands, and Germany (but also tiny Luxembourg), Belgium is divided into two main regions with different languages. It is not the most united country in the world, but it is a very interesting one.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we will explore <strong>What is Belgium famous for<\/strong>? We will explore famous foods, people, locations, products, but also some well-known idiosyncrasies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5\">Are you planning to visit Belgium?

Officially the EU has no capital and doesn\u2019t plan on having one, but the European Quarter in Brussels hosts the European Commission, The European Council, the Council of the European Union, and the second seat of the European Parliament. It is believed that this presence is responsible for more than 8% of the regional GDP and 17% of the employment.<\/p>\n<p>Each day Brussels is mentioned in almost every <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>paper and TVs around the world because it\u2019s where the EU decisions are made, making it the foremost reason why Belgium is known worldwide.

One that sometimes doesn\u2019t seem to fit well together, but it somehow works. Belgium has 3 languages (Dutch, French, and German) which are mostly only spoken in its own community. Plus, Brussels works as a bilingual area, where Dutch and French are spoken.<\/p>\n<p>This historic linguistic diversity is both a cause and a consequence of many cultural and political conflicts throughout the history of the country. And to make things even more interesting you should note that the flemish community who speaks dutch, don\u2019t consider themselves dutch, and the Walloon community who speaks French don\u2019t consider themselves French. Also, the German-speaking community is very very small, and it\u2019s only located along the border with Germany.<\/p>\n<p>So, it\u2019s easy to understand why this internal organization is messy and difficult to manage, but also why they also don\u2019t fit with other countries. And it does get \u201cinteresting\u201d from time to time\u2026<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Longest_time_whithout_a_governement_in_peacetime\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Longest_time_whithout_a_governement_in_peacetime\"><\/span>#3 Longest time whithout a governement in peacetime<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Remember when we just talked about things becoming interesting?

In fact, Belgium has done it again, and apparently broke its own record, in 2020!<\/p>\n<p>This must be one of the most curious famous facts about a country that we have ever written here!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Waffles\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Waffles\"><\/span>#4 Waffles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Waffles or Goffres are one of the most popular foods in Belgium. Waffles are a staple food in Belgium for centuries but they only became famous after the 1964 world fair, where they were a huge hit. They were named Belgian Waffles and the name stuck. However, in Belgium, there are dozens of regional varieties\u2026 The most popular are the lighters Brussels Waffles and the denser Li\u00e8ge Gaufres.<\/p>\n<p>Waffles are a dish made with leavened batter or dough cooked between two hot patterned plates that give it shape, size, and the typical checkered pattern. They are usually eaten as street food in Belgium, while elsewhere it\u2019s mostly seen as breakfast food.

To get those delicious and crispies Belgian fries they need to be 1 cm thick and be fried twice (the first fry should be at 150\u00b0C and the second at 175 \u00b0C).

Anyway, we will try to explain. First, Belgian beer culture has been inscribed in UNESCO\u2019s list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity. So, beer is to Belgians what Fado is to the Portuguese, the tango to the Argentinian, or Thai massage to the Thais.<\/p>\n<p>There are more than 300 active breweries in Belgium, from international companies to traditional breweries, including the famous Trappist beers from Trappist monasteries. Belgian beers have a huge array of varieties, from pale lagers to amber ales, lambic beers, sour ales, strong ales, Flemish red ales, and stouts! One curious factor is that Belgian beer is usually drunk in bottles, instead of cans, and most of each brand has its own unique shaped glass.<\/p>\n<p>The variety of beers and brands in supermarkets, pubs, bars, and restaurants is really impressive. It\u2019s quite easy to get overwhelmed! Beer is truly something Belgium is famous for!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Tomorrowland_and_other_festivals\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Tomorrowland_and_other_festivals\"><\/span>#8 Tomorrowland and other festivals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Even if you aren\u2019t a fan of electronic music, you must have heard of Tomorrowland, right? It\u2019s one of the biggest and most famous electronic music festivals in the world! Held in Boom, Antwerp (fitting name, right?), Tomorrowland lasts for weeks, and it\u2019s extravagant\u2026 to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019 about 400 000 people from all over the world come to Boom to enjoy the music, dance\u2026 and so much more! This festival can be a bit crazy! In recent years Tomorrowland has been expanding to other countries with festivals in Atlanta, US (called TomorrowWorld), in Itu, Brazil, and in Alpe d\u2019Huez, France (in Winter).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Diamonds\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Diamonds\"><\/span>#9 Diamonds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Belgium is famous for hosting the world\u2019s diamond capital, Antwerp. More than 80% of the world\u2019s rough diamond\u2019s passed through Antwerp and every year about 50% of these diamonds return to Antwerp to be cut and polished. There are 380 workshops, 1500 companies, 3500 brokers who employ more than 30 000 people. It\u2019s an impressive world and a great destination if you are in the market for some diamonds\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Antwerp has been a major player in the diamond world for centuries now, and it all started when Lodewyk van Berken revolutionized the diamond world when he invented the scaif \u2013  a tool to polish diamonds.
