Help me pick out locations to visit with a foreign friend
A German friend of mine who has never been to Belgium is coming over soon. Which sites do you consider must-see regardless of a person's interest in music/history/culture/...
Most general "must-see" places have already been mentioned, you can't go wrong with them. I would perhaps throw in Leuven as a good half/one day trip, especially if you're staying in the center of the country.
I'd suggest to also focus on distinctly Belgian food/activities, which your friend might not have in Germany: visiting a frituur, sampling the local beer/pralines, going for a bike ride, perhaps a cantus if you're up for that. These are independent of location but are all quintessentially Belgian.
