Belgium · DAY TRIPS FROM BRUSSELS
32 reviewed
Brussels sits within an hour of nearly everywhere worth going, which makes it a good base and a bad place to stay put. These day trips cover the Bruges and Ghent pairing, Antwerp, the Meuse valley around Dinant, and the battlefield routes west. Each entry lists the length, the price and whether you travel by coach or train.

“It’s a big outing value packed with so many interesting sights in both Ghent and Bruges.

Thanks to our driver for driving us safely!”
Spend a full day from Brussels with coach views to Luxembourg City and Dinant, plus guided stops and free Old Town time.
“Our guide was very informative and professional. She gave each bit of information on way to dinant and luxembourg In English, then repeated in Spanish. With some tales and modern history of the grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and the impact of war on Dinant; while interesting seemed very textbook and scripted. This did not feel engaging or personalised. Went on a Wednesday and the stop off at Dinant was somewhat dissapointing as most of the shops were closed. The walking tour in Luxembourg city was, again, informative but as it was dual language It felt like only "half a tour". I felt the guide didn't incorporate any humour or personality…”

“The tour guide, Pablo, was amazing. He was funny, engaging, knowledgable, charismatic and smart. He had great patience with some members of the group who were making things harder to hear than they needed to be and helped keep everyone to time. Both Antwerp and Ghent were beautiful. I would recommend this tour to anyone, especially if they get Pablo as their guide.”

A smooth coach day trip from Brussels to Antwerp and Ghent, with guided walks, Atomium photos, and free time in both cities.
“We had an excellent guide, Julianna. Both cities were really interesting but there was too little free time. 90 minutes free time isn’t even enough to go get dinner and be sure you have time to walk back to the meeting point. Would ideally have done these two cities in separate trips but there was no tour that did this.”
