Hasselt loves tasting, joviality & cosiness.
A visit to the capital of good taste: you can taste the versatility, a combination of possibilities.
Different tastes form a unique culture. The menu includes an extensive range of cultural activities (jenever museum, fashion museum, theatre, film, music, etc.), a culinary oasis (restaurants, speciality shops, etc.) and a variety of shops (fashion, design, jewellery, etc.). All of this is served in the pleasant, female-loving heart of Limburg.
You’ll always feel at home in a world full of surprises. Hasselt is the ideal departure point to experiencing the surrounding area (Haspengouw, Bokrijk, Maasmechelen Village, Maastricht, etc.). A visit to Hasselt always begs for more.
