Holidays in Belgium

There's much more to Belgium than chocolate and moules frites - although the centre of the European Union is justly famed for its cuisine, and beer. A long, sandy coast and lovely rolling countryside that brings together a wealth of cultures, including the two great French and Flemish halves of the country, all of which adds to a heady mix for the visitor to enjoy. Home to some of Europe's most dynamic cities - from lovely, historic Bruges and Ghent to the fashion and shopping hub of Antwerp and European Capital of Brussels, Belgium has something for everyone, and we feature a great range of holidays and places to stay - all within easy reach of Britain by train or ferry. Only a couple of hours from St Pancras by Eurostar, you can travel onwards to any destination in Belgium by train for free from Brussels - find out how to travel from the UK to Belgium by train using our journey planner.
