While relatively small in size, Belgium is home to a fair number of attractions. But for those looking for an amazing experience without the crowds, we’ve put together a list of hidden activities and places.

Build a float for the International Regatta of Bathtubs

Got an extra bathtub laying around? Put it to good use at this highly unusual festival held along the river Meuse in Dinant. Held annually in August, the International Bathtub Regatta, attracts thousands of visitors to the area seeking to participate in the race or simply enjoy the spectacle of watching off-the-wall designed bathroom fixtures float along the river.

Explore the Caves of Remouchamps

With a history dating back 8,000 years, the Caves of Remouchamps are an appealing attraction for those looking for something a little more unusual. Serving as a shelter for ancient hunters thousands of years ago, the hunters enjoyed the same wonderful variety of geological formations and colors visitors of today will enjoy. Starting with a short walk through these formations, visitors descend down to the Rubicon River before casting off on a silent, 90-minute ride through more phenomenal rock formations. With luck, visitors will be treated to a bit of sighting or the chance to see the luminous shrimp, which ply the waters along with the visitors.
