Shopping in Belgium does not only encounter delicious chocolates and beautiful handmade wares. There are many nice shops in cities like Antwerp, Brussels, and Ghent. The best time to go shopping in Belgium would be during the sales periods!

However, bear in mind that there are only two periods when sales are allowed in Belgium. The summer period starts from July 1 and lasts until July 31. The winter period is between January 1 and January 31. I actually found out this because of a salesman in a chocolate store in Antwerp.
