The city
Hasselt is the capital of Belgian Limburg, a city of about 90,000 inhabitants where Flemish, the Dutch spoken in Belgium, is spoken. The center, surrounded by a ring road, brings together the Grote Markt with the house Het Sweert, the Sint-Quintinuskathedraal, the Nationaal Jenevermuseum, the Modemuseum Hasselt and the Het Stadsmus. Within walking distance is the Japanse Tuin, presented as the largest Japanese garden in Europe.

Flavors of Belgium
The local experience
Hasselt's central square, surrounded by cafés and restaurants, with the half-timbered house Het Sweert on one corner and the cathedral a few steps away.
It has been Hasselt's cathedral since 1967, originating in an 8th-century temple, with a Romanesque and Gothic nave, an 18th-century tower and art brought from Herkenrode Abbey.
Japanese garden of 2.5 hectares, a gift from the twin city Itami, with a waterfall, carp pond, bridges, a tea house and about 250 cherry trees.
Fashion museum housed in a 17th-century building on Gasthuisstraat, with no permanent collection: it stages two major exhibitions a year about clothing, style and design.
The jenever museum in a 19th-century distillery with steam boilers that still operate, housed in a former 17th-century convent farm.
The museum of Hasselt's history, housed in two manor houses from the 17th and 19th centuries, featuring the oldest known monstrance in the world and items from the abbey of Herkenrode.
