Step into the spirited heart of Limburg in Hasselt, Belgium’s most welcoming and underrated provincial capital, where the world-famous Jenever tradition lives on in historic distilleries like Bokskes and De Kuyper offering tastings of the smooth, juniper-flavored spirit that gave gin its name, while the stylish Fashion Museum (ModeMuseum) showcases cutting-edge Belgian design in a renovated 18th-century monastery. Stroll the charming Grote Markt with its colorful guild houses, lively cafés, and the striking Virga Jesse Basilica (famous for its miraculous statue and triennial pilgrimage), explore the trendy Quartier Bleu district with its modern architecture, rooftop gardens, and boutique shops, or relax in the peaceful Japanese Garden—one of Europe’s largest and most authentic—amid koi ponds, cherry blossoms, and zen tranquility—all in a walkable, youthful city that perfectly balances rich Jenever culture, fashion-forward creativity, and the warm, open-hearted hospitality of Belgian Limburg just 1 hour from Brussels or Liège.
Savor smooth Hasselt jenever with a local beer chaser, hearty Limburgse vlaai (fruit pie), fresh asparagus in season with melted butter, and crisp Genootschap beer amid lively market squares, fashion windows, and the unmistakable rhythm of a city that feels both historic and delightfully modern.
Hasselt isn’t just a destination—it’s Limburg’s most vibrant fusion of jenever heritage, design energy, and genuine Belgian warmth—plan your Hasselt adventure today!
