Airbnb Offers Limited Smurfs Experience in Belgian Forest

Airbnb is offering a unique, immersive experience in Belgium where two families can live like Smurfs in a forest setting inspired by the original Smurfs creator, Peyo. This four-hour event on August 3 is hosted by Nicolas Tytgat, Peyo's grandson, and includes activities such as making Smurf hats, enjoying a Smurfberry drink, woodland archery, a Smurf-themed picnic, and a dance routine from the new Paramount Animation Smurfs movie. The experience aims to reconnect families with nature and celebrate Belgium's cultural heritage, coinciding with the movie release. Booking opens on July 16 and the event is free, although travel costs are not included. Meanwhile, cycling travelers are also finding more specialized accommodation options, with platforms like WarmShowers and TrustRoots providing community-driven stays, and European services like Biroto listing bike-friendly hotels to support this growing lifestyle. These developments highlight the increasing demand for niche travel experiences that combine cultural immersion, outdoor activity, and community connection.
