Belgium – Cycling in Flanders
“In Belgium, cycling is more than a sport. It’s a way of life. I recommend a ride through the picturesque hills of Flanders, home to the legendary Tour of Flanders each spring. Iconic cobbled climbs like Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg offer a true taste of cycling history, even if you only tackle a short stretch. To make the day even more special, I suggest wrapping it up at a traditional brasserie, enjoying Belgian beer and local dishes. For a comfortable and charming place to unwind after your ride, I recommend Hotel Harmony in Ghent.”

Netherlands – Speed Skating & Johan Cruyff Arena
“In the Netherlands, speed skating is a national passion, especially in winter. I recommend booking a private skating lesson at an indoor rink like Thialf in Heerenveen, where many Dutch champions have trained. If you’re visiting during the warmer months and you’re a football fan, I suggest a tour of Amsterdam’s Johan Cruyff Arena.”

Luxembourg – Hiking & Cycling in Mullerthal
“Though small, Luxembourg is packed with incredible opportunities for outdoor adventures. I recommend exploring the Mullerthal region, known as “Little Switzerland,” where you’ll find stunning hiking and cycling trails that wind through lush forests, unique rock formations, and charming villages. After a day of exploring, I suggest staying at Château d’Urspelt, a beautifully restored castle that offers a perfect blend of luxury and romance.”
