brussels is an underwhelming western europe capital, imo. all 3 of antwer/ghent/bruges are superior Archived Message

all can be done in a day, but i think your original plan is fine. make sure you see what is open in august.  Previous Message Brussels is fine, but it just feels like a lot of big cities. Haven't been to Belgium in 15 years, so that could be the spot.  Previous Message If so, Belgium is the obvious choice since it’s on the way. I didn’t love Brussels personally, but I’ve heard Bruges and Ghent are very nice. If you’re down to fly, honestly all of Europe ends up pretty easy (as I’m sure you well know).  Previous Message Is there a good alternative to Paris for Monday-Thursday in between? Looking for easy, quick travel. Note: this trip is happening in August, not currently.
