Belgium is not a large country in size, so a visit to Brussels should be combined with excursions to other locations in the country and maybe also to important and nice cities nearby, but still outside the borders of Belgium. If you have limited time the most important cities in Belgium to visit besides Brussels are Ghent, Bruges and Antwerpen, with Bruges ranked number one among the three cities.
If you dream of visiting some other city outside the borders of Belgium we give more information about how to visit cities such as London, Amsterdam and Luxembourg, all three easily available from Brussels.
