If you travel south of Belgium, you will find yourself in the region of Wallonia. A peaceful and tranquil region complete with peaceful villages, charming castles and full of Belgian traditions. The language mostly practiced here is French, however, you will not find it hard to get along if you are only English speaking. There are many typical outdoor markets to visit, citadels, parks and museums, you will surely have your time here packed with things to see. Although, mostly known for its tranquillity and peacefulness, there are a few things to do here which will please the thrill seekers such as Kayaking, Hot Air Ballooning, hiking and rock climbing. The country side is astounding and so picturesque thanks to the many streams, lakes and waterfalls. Some of the famous towns in Wallonia include: Liege, Namur, Spa (which is where the largely used term spa is derived from) and Tournai.
