What I personally like the most is the Oudenaarde/Ronse/Brakel area with the flamish hills.
If you want to ride the famous (cobbled) hills, you have to do some preparation.
Get the most detailed maps and study the routes of the pro races.
De Muur, Kerkgate, Les Hauts, Koppenberg, Paterberg, Molenberg, Berendries, Eikenberg, Valkenberg, Kwaremont, Taaienberg, etc.
Totally different is the area south of Liege. A bit easier to find the hills, because you can follow the arrows on the streets. What makes it difficult is that there are about 50 different signs/marks/arrows... Again, some route planning is advised.
Beers are nice everywhere.
I can recomment the big square in downtown Leuven. Approx. 50 pubs surrounding that square. Is Marktrock still there ?
