Best campervan routes around Belgium

Brussels To Bruges
We have included this as you will most likely arrive in Brussels and then want to head outside the city. When you are looking for a motorhome for hire in Belgium, there is no better place to head than Bruges, and this route is about 100km. Along the way, we recommend you call at Ghent, one of the most beautiful cities in Belgium. Bruges is known worldwide for its cobbled streets, canals, and old buildings. This is a good route that includes both cities and lovely scenery along the way.

Antwerp to the Ardennes
This mixes up nature and cities, and the drive is roughly 150k from Antwerp to the Ardennes. Antwerp is known for its old town and the diamond district. Afterwards, head southwest towards the Ardennes, which goes through some great little towns. The Ardennes is perfect for those who love the outdoors, as there's plenty of hiking, cycling and other outdoor sports to participate in.

Brussels to Luxembourg
Why not visit another country during your stay in Belgium? They both share a land border, and this would make a great long trip at roughly 220km. You could break it up with a stop in the town of Namur, which is known for its amazing citadel. Then head to Luxembourg, which is a fascinating little town with a great old town. It's a country known for its beautiful countryside, which fits right in with a campervan trip.

Sites of interest and excursions in Belgium

The Atomium, Brussels
This is on the outskirts of the city, so it might make a good first stop after you have picked u your motorhome rental in Belgium. It was built for the World Expo in 1958 and is shaped like a massive atom—hence the name. Inside, there are different exhibitions, and there are great views from the top, where you can see for miles.

Ghent’s Gravensteen Castle
If you decide to stop in Ghent on your Belgium campervan trip, make sure you stop at Gravensteen Castle, a 12th-century medieval castle. It's a great place to stop if you have the kids with you, as there's lots going on inside and great views all over Ghent. It looks like a castle straight out of Game of Thrones.

The Battlefields of Flanders
This is nearer to Bruge than Brussels, so if you are heading that way, this could be a great place to visit. The town of Ypres and its surrounding areas are home to memorials, museums, and preserved trenches that offer a reminder of the war.
