What I love about Belgium, is that its four beautiful historic cities of Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp and Belgium are all within a short train ride of each other. That means you can easily visit all four of these cities in just four days.
Brussels, the capital of Belgium and the administrative capital of the European Union (EU) offers more than just amazing chocolate and beer. Visit museums, regal 19th century mansions, beautiful parks and architecture. Discover how to spend a day in Brussels.
Ghent is a beautiful historic city in Belgium, with fabulous canal side architecture, a medieval castle, and delicious chocolate shops. Use this guide to plan your holiday in Ghent.
Bruges is a wonderful fairy-tale medieval town, with picturesque cobbled lanes, romantic canals, and photogenic market squares lined with historic churches and buildings.
Antwerp is Belgium’s second largest city and biggest port. In the mid-16th century it was one of Europe’s most important cities. Despite severe bombing during WWII, Antwerp retains an intriguing medieval city centre, with plenty of chocolate shops, cobbled lanes, a riverside fortress and a truly impressive cathedral.
