Hasselt
Hasselt is the ever-friendly capital of the province of Limburg. What makes this city so unique is that it gathers all the assets of a big city on such a friendly scale. With only 78,000 inhabitants, you won't quickly disappear into the crowd here, but you can still actively participate in a vibrant urban life.
Eye-catchers in Hasselt include the Japanese Garden, the Fashion Museum and a very pleasant city centre. Another plus: you are right in the greenery here if you wish. Whatever you do, be sure to settle down afterwards in one of Hasselt's many bars or restaurants - the culinary level here is consistently high. And book a room in a hotel, because you won't want to leave here just yet.
