Getting Around

The absolute best way to get around Belgium is by bike. Brussels and Antwerp have a municipal bike hire system, like those in London and Paris, and you can hire bikes individually in Ghent and Bruges. It’s a great way to see the city and is safe.

Otherwise, trams ply the streets of Antwerp and Brussels, and taxis and buses are frequent.

You can hire a car, but we recommend weekenders arrive by train to avoid parking nightmares. All 4 cities are easy to navigate on foot too.
