Hasselt
3 things to see
The self-proclaimed jenever (gin) capital of Belgium pairs its distillery heritage with a surprising fashion scene and one of Europe’s largest Japanese gardens. As a compact Limburg capital, Hasselt is easy to cover on foot, with a walkable old center and cafe terraces that cost nothing to enjoy. Prices run well below Brussels or Antwerp, and nearby Dutch Maastricht sits just over the border for a cheap day trip.
