Location & region

Tongeren-Borgloon is a particularly attractive tourist base for a multi-day stay. Located in the heart of Haspengouw, this region combines peace, space, and nature with a surprisingly rich culture and excellent accessibility. Thanks to its central location, you can reach Maastricht, Liège, or Hasselt in no time, while returning to the tranquility of the rolling countryside in the evening.

What makes Tongeren-Borgloon so unique is the landscape, often affectionately referred to as the "Tuscany of Belgium". Gently rolling hills, vast orchards, sunken roads, and picturesque villages set the scene. In spring, millions of blossoms transform the region into a pastel-colored carpet, while summer and fall invite you to take long walks, bike rides, and culinary discoveries among orchards and vineyards.

The region also offers a strong cultural identity. Tongeren, Belgium's oldest city, exudes history with its Roman heritage, museums, and lively antique market. Borgloon symbolizes the region's fruit-growing past and contemporary landscape tourism, with iconic viewpoints, outdoor art, and cycling routes that take you right through the countryside.

For tourists looking for a relaxing stay with variety, Tongeren-Borgloon is the ideal choice: culture and urban flair in nearby city centers during the day, and in between, enjoy the slow pace, gastronomy, and landscape of Haspengouw. A destination where southern charm and Belgian conviviality meet perfectly.
