Expatica reader Michael Greenberg offered up the following summertime tips, including the best places for picnics, ice-cream and shelter from the rain.
We asked:
Where can you get the best ice cream?
Zizi (Rue Vandekindere)

Do you know a great weekend getaway?
Cadzand-Bad on the Dutch coast a few km from Knokke. More natural, lots of bike paths, fewer tourists and hype.

Go to the Air Museum in the Parc Cinquantennaire
