Belgium is one of the easiest European countries to explore thanks to its small size and amazing train service. Here’s a couple of cities you should check out if you’re planning a road trip around this country.

Brussels

Brussels is an obvious choice as it’s the capital of Belgium, and every passionate traveler starts their journey right here.

Antwerp

This charming city was once home to many notable historical figures, including painter Pieter Paul Rubens, whose former studio has been transformed in one of the city’s best museums.

Ghent

If you want to take some time to sit back and relax during your visit to Belgium, Ghent is your best pick, and you’ll still get to enjoy its medieval architecture on every turn.

Bruges

Often described as the “Venice of the North”, this city is one of the most charming Belgian attractions and exploring its canals by boat is a fairytale experience.

Liège

Liège isn’t as popular with tourists as other Belgian cities, but it still has a lot to offer – including crowded folk festivals in the summer and festive Christmas markets in the winter.
