Belgium

When to Go

The season is in Belgium from mid-April to mid-October. The peak of the tourist season is July and August, when the weather warmest. July and August are the best months for soaking up rays at a sidewalk cafe, dining at an outdoors restaurant in the evening, and swimming and sunbathing at the seacoast. There are even sunny spells in winter, when brilliant, crisp weather alternates with clouded skies.
