Theoretically this is the same language as in the Netherlands, but belgians have a totally different accent. You could say that people of Flanders people speak Flemish and inhabitants of the Netherlans speah 'Hollands'(that's how we call it in Belgium).
Wallonia is the French part of Belgium where they speak French with some little differences in words and accents. (French people won't have trouble communicating with people of Wallonia).
And then there is also a minortity of less than 1% who speak German, but it is not necessary to know this language when you would visit Belgium as this is just 1% of the inhabitants.

Belgium (i/ˈbɛldʒəm/ BEL-jəm), officially the Kingdom of Belgium, is a federal monarchy in Western Europe. It is a founding member of the European Union and hosts the EU's headquarters as well as those of several other major international organisations such as NATO.[nb 1] Belgium covers an area of 30,528 square kilometres (11,787 sq mi), and it has a population of about 11 million people.
Straddling the cultural boundary between Germanic and Latin Europe, Belgium is home to two main linguistic groups, the Dutch-speakers (about 60%), mostly Flemish, and the French-speakers (about 40%), mostly Walloons, plus a small group of German-speakers. Belgium's two largest regions are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia. The Brussels-Capital Region, officially bilingual, is a mostly French-speaking enclave within the Flemish Region.[6] A German-speaking Community exists in eastern Wallonia.[7] Belgium's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in the political history and a complex system of government.[8][9]
