Belgium

Car rental Belgium

For Canadians heading to Belgium, one of the best ways to see the most of the country is to choose car rental. The whole country is only 300kms at its widest point and therefore it is easy to see the stunning chocolate shops in Brussels and the acres of forests in Liege in the same day.

Although some city centers are pedestrian-only, car rental is a great way to travel as its gives tourists more freedom. It’s best to compare car rental before leaving Canada to secure the best deals. If you love to shop, then Belgium is the perfect place to stock up on designer clothes, jewelry and of course, some of that beautiful Belgian chocolate made fresh from the many chocolateers in Bruges and Brussels.

Tourist hotspots

From the stunning rivers and forests of Dinant in Wallonia, to the hustle and bustle of city-life in Ghent and the northern cities, Belgium is a diverse place to visit. With direct flights from Canada being available, there is no waiting around at a layover, and therefore leaves more time to spend in the wonderful, quirky country.

Bruges is well known for its fantasy-like buildings, large medieval structures and pretty canals. One of the most relaxing ways to spend time in Bruges is to enjoy some local beer in the squares or cafés and take in the mild summer sun. It’s recommended to visit in July for the many music festivals and carnival-like atmosphere.

Best time to stay

Warm summers and ice-cold winters are both popular with tourists, as there are chances to go enjoy picturesque snow-covered cities and visit the pristine camping areas of the forests. The winters aren’t as harsh as some nearby countries and the summers aren’t as humid as they are in southern Europe, so any time is a good time to stay.
