25 Best Day Trips from Brussels

paulina on the road

Whether it’s a break from the hustle and bustle of city life, an exploration of culture and history or simply time for some fresh air, there are so many great day trips from Brussels that will leave you with lifelong memories!

From picturesque villages to stunning castles and religious sites, this small country is full of wonders waiting to be explored.

So grab your bags and let’s look closer at what Belgium has in store for day trippers!

Bruges

Bruges is probably one of the most popular day trips from Belgium. It’s a one-hour and twenty-minute drive from Brussels, and it takes one hour and ten minutes to get there by train.

Knokke

Knokke is the more fancy and chic seaside resort on the Belgian coast. I really enjoy Knokke as it is laid-back without the bustle of Ostende.

Ghent

Ghent (Gent) is one of the most popular day trips from Brussels. It is not far away and has some of Bruges’ vibe. However, many say that Ghent is less stiff and more vibrant due to its large student community.

Leuven

Leuven is probably one of the closest day trips from Brussels. But still, the quaint town will surprise you with its very different vibe from Brussels.
