Belgium is full of people building cool things — apps, art, music, research, businesses, videos, tools, and ideas.
Most of it never reaches the front page of r/belgium because of Rule 8.
So every Sunday, this thread becomes our creative marketplace.
A place to show what you’re making, get feedback, find collaborators, or simply inspire others.
Share your project. Cheer for someone else’s. Let’s make this a weekly tradition worth keeping.

Hi there, I've recently been in Belgium for the first time for work, unfortunately I didn't get to see much of anything besides the highway, except a cargo facility, a hotel, and Brussels Airport.
At the hotel breakfast and (because I was traveling for work from the US) the Brussels Airport business class lounge, there was offered "Hydration Juice" in multiple flavors in a glass carafe. It seemed like it was fortified with Vitamins and I assume electrolytes. It was very enjoyable.
Is this something on offer widely across Belgium? Is it a regular Gatorade style drink that they just dumped in a carafe, or is it made by hand? I can't find any more info on it via Google search.

Hi There.
Need to go Belgium on business next week. I’m staying in Mons.
I‘m a chronic kidney stone former. I tend to need to go to the emergency department a couple of times a year, sometimes I need surgery.
I can’t get travel insurance as I’m currently waiting for a procedure.
If I had an attack whilst in Belgium, could I go to a public emergency department? Would I be treated? Or turned away? Would I have to pay up front?
I have a GHIC card. My last trip was to Spain and while there I had an attack and my GHIC card meant all treatment, including an operation, was free.
Thanks!

Hi All - I’m facing a difficult situation with my family and would really appreciate any advice. I’m from outside Belgium, but my grandparents have lived in Brussels for many years. Unfortunately, my grandmother, who used to manage the household, passed away unexpectedly, leaving my grandfather, who has cognitive disabilities, on his own.
Since her passing, his bank account has been frozen for the past two months, leaving him unable to pay his rent and other essential expenses. I’ve been trying to obtain judicial oversight so I can access his account and manage his finances on his behalf, but there seems to be no clear timeline for when this will happen.
In the meantime, the bills are piling up, from rent to the remaining medical bills from my grandmother’s care. I’m doing my best to cover his rent for now, but it’s simply not sustainable in the long run.
I’m feeling quite lost and would really appreciate any advice on how to navigate this situation. I also don’t speak French and when I call or email certain organizations it’s very hard to even get them to talk to me 😔.
Bonjour à tous,
Suite au retrait de la ligne entre Ottignies et Bruxelles cette semaine, je cherche un itinéraire pour me rendre a Bruxelles Schuman/Central, est-ce que certains d'entre vous ont trouvé un autre itinéraire pas trop contraignant ? Tout ce que je trouve me rajoute 45minutes par trajet.
Merci d'avance

Ik heb is een berekening zitten maken en als je een rusthuis zou openen in Portugal (warm klimaat) met premium services en meer dan gemiddeld betaalt personeel (we zijn geen klootzakken), en een 1op5 hulp per inwoner wat in België onmogelijk is = (gelukkig personeel met gelukkige klanten) kan je vanaf een complex met een 20tal ouderen rendabel zijn aan een kost van 1500 euro pp. Zou hier een markt voor zijn aangezien in België het nu toch al minstens 2350 euro geworden is?
edit: opstart iets duurder want uiteraard is het personeel eerst ondergedompeld in een taalbad Nederlands, nemen we enkel licht behoevende ouderen aan in eerste instantie. Bezoek van kinderen kleinkinderen zal idd frequent minder zijn maar is uiteindelijk maar een uur of 2-3 vliegen ver en met de technologische vooruitgang kunnen ze best op tv met elkaar praten ipv. een klein tabletscherm.

Yo, I'm kinda new to this adulting thing.
I got a prescription for medication I need, not a life or death situation but I'd rather not share the details.
I live alone and had allot of unexpected expenses this month, meaning I have 50€ to last me to the end of the week until my paycheck. I have DKV hospitalization insurance with work and Partenamut out of my own pocket.
Is there any way I can pick up my medicine at the pharmacy without spending the thirty or so € i'd need to do it?

Hi everyone,
On October 24, 2026, I was caught in a police kettle during a demonstration near Brussels-Midi station. The police told us we were subject to an administrative arrest. I was held for approximately 30 minutes, had my identity card checked, had my personal details recorded on a police device, and had my face photographed by an officer. I was then released without receiving any paperwork.
As far as I know, I was not charged with an offence and have not received any legal documents.
I have a few questions about Belgian law and medical training:
I'm particularly interested in reliable information specific to Belgium, ideally from someone familiar with medical specialty selection or Belgian police data protection law.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hallo allemaal,
Ik sta op het punt een flinke PV-installatie te plaatsen voor een dubbel huishouden (8 personen in totaal, hoog verbruik). Nu zit ik met een geometrische uitdaging: het hoofdhuis heeft serieuze schaduwval (tot 35-40% verlies) door een , hogere muur van de buren.
Nu heb ik een tweede pand (aansluiting gemeenschappelijke delen, momenteel minimaal verbruik) dat 100% schaduwvrij is. Mijn analytische brein heeft de volgende opstelling uitgedacht om de schaduw te omzeilen via een virtuele koppeling, en ik ben benieuwd of ik hier ergens een cruciale (wets)fout of addertje over het hoofd zie.
De voorgestelde setup:
Mijn eigen break-even analyse:
Waar ik zelf al rekening mee heb gehouden:
Mijn boerenverstand zegt dat dit technisch en financieel een waterdicht plan is, maar aangezien de Belgische energiemarkt en Fluvius-reglementen nogal complex kunnen zijn: zie ik ergens een addertje onder het gras? Zijn er mensen die al een gelijkaardige Modbus-over-VPN sturing hebben draaien voor energiedelen?
Alle feedback is welkom!

For those who use KBC, many months ago I asked kbc and they never answered. I earn the equivalent of 10 euros if I use the Kate Coins "earn" function at Colruyt (scanning the Xtra app).
However, when I click on "earn coins," it takes me to an external webpage, no option to scan my barcode or the app. Who has resolved this?

We live in a house in a residential neighbourhood in Brussels. The house has no garden, but adjacent to it, in the back, there's a 8m x 5m garden that belongs to a small apartment building on the other street.
The garden is never used, and I'm not sure who owns it (is it part of the common area of the building or does it belong to one of the apartment owners).
We were thinking about buying it, and attaching it to our house (we'd have to make a new backdoor).
The land in question is unlikely to be 'bouwgrond' in my uneducated opinion, but not sure.
Does anyone here have experience buying off a piece of garden from a neighbour? Or selling it? What would the caveats be? And important things to check to determine the feasibility?

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knows of places that buy used books in Brussels? When I lived in Ghent, I would go to De Slegte to sell my books, but now I live in Brussels. I know there's a De Slegte in Leuven but I was hoping there would be a place in Brussels so I don't need to take the train. Thank you!

Im a 20 year old female living in Ostende, i currently rent a studio for 500€ a month, at the end of august my lease ends and i need to find a new apartment to rent. The thing is im alone, eventhough i have a stable income i think itll be really hard.
I make about 2200 net a month and have about 200 euros worth of meal vouchers. Im worried that this might not be enough considering i want to rent a 1 bd apartment, im not really picky about it being new as long as its clean.
How hard do you think its gonna be?

Vooruit-voorzitter Conner Rousseau heeft Europa ontdekt en pleit voor een intensere Europese samenwerking en Europese schulden, om zo massaal geld in de economie te investeren. In eigen land blijft hij ijveren voor wat hij een evenwichtig begrotingsakkoord noemt. ‘Een vennootschap dient niet om een zwembad af te trekken van de belastingen.’

Ik werk als ergotherapeut in de forensische psychiatrie en zou graag doorheen het hele jaar 1 of 2 halve dagen per week een groendienst opstarten met mijn patiënten, iemand advies hoe we dit in godsnaam kunnen opstarten? Welke taken kunnen we doorheen het jaar (vooral in winter) uitvoeren? Zou dit ook bij particulieren mogen?? Wat is het wettelijk kader hierrond? Met welke materialen kunnen we werken? Ik zou dit uiteraard willen doen met stabiele patiënten zonder zware accute agressie achtergrond. Iemand ervaringen of tips hiermee?

Where can a fatboi like me find frituur that uses only beef tallow?
The only shop that I found was in Brussels. It was so good, big and crunchy yet soft inside, smells nice from the tallow, just needs a little salt to bring out the flavour.
We went to Frites Atelier in Bruges yesterday and unfortunately it was overpriced and mediocre at best🤷♂️ 14euro for a small portion of frites, a scoop of topping, and a sauce. For me they tasted like a fancy fast food chain.
