Tongeren: The first city of Belgium 
In the soft cradle of Limburg lies Tongeren, Belgium’s oldest city, where history breathes beneath every cobblestone and legend whispers through the mist.
Once a proud Roman stronghold known as Atuatuca Tungrorum, Tongeren still wears the grandeur of its ancient empire like a secret crown.
Its most famous son, Ambiorix, the brave Eburone warrior who defied Caesar, stands immortal in bronze, his gaze fierce, forever guarding his homeland.
Around him, time drifts gently through medieval streets, Gallo-Roman ruins, and cathedral spires that pierce the golden sky.
The Basilica of Our Lady rises in quiet splendour, its bells echoing tales of faith and rebellion across centuries.
Beyond the city walls, the landscape unfurls into a dream of rolling hills, hidden forests, and fortified farms , where ancient stones remember every storm.
Majestic castles slumber beside winding rivers, their towers mirrored in silver waters like sentinels of forgotten stories.
Here, mystery lingers in the air, a place where myth and memory dance under the watchful eye of the stars.
At dawn, the mists weave ghostly veils across the Hesbaye plains, while the wind hums songs once sung by Roman legions and Celtic tribes.
Every sunset turns the limestone walls to gold, reminding travellers that Tongeren is not merely a city, but a living chronicle of courage, culture, and eternity.
To wander here is to walk through the veins of Belgium’s past, and to feel the pulse of Belgium's earliest civilisation.
Tongeren, where history lives, legends awaken, and the spirit of Ambiorix still rides the wind.
