Belgium ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 24 July 1996. Its designated sites are overwhelmingly cultural, with only a small representation of natural heritage.

Common themes include medieval and early modern urban ensembles (such as the Grand‑Place, Flemish Béguinages, Belfries), industrial‑era engineering and mining landscapes (for instance, the Canal du Centre lifts and Wallonia mining sites), and modernist architectural works (including the Stoclet House and Le Corbusier buildings), alongside one primeval beech forest reflecting natural value.
