Antwerp Day Trip from Brussels: Itinerary and Planning Tips, Antwerp, Belgium

I spent time in both Brussels and Antwerp on multiple trips to Belgium. My first visit to Antwerp was on a day trip from Brussels.

The train ride from Brussels to Antwerp is short and Antwerp is a lovely city worth visiting. It’s compact and walkable, making it ideal for seeing a lot in one day.

In this guide, I’ll explain how you can plan a day trip from Brussels to Antwerp , either by public transport or on a guided tour.

To save time and hassle, it’s easy to take an Antwerp day trip from Brussels by joining a guided tour.

A guided tour is the most convenient option if you don’t want to (or don’t have time to) do the planning yourself, so bear that option in mind when you’re preparing for your trip.

You’ll travel by coach and have a guided tour of the city. You’ll also have some free time to explore by yourself, get some food, take pictures, etc.

Ghent is a beautiful place to visit in Belgium that’s definitely worth visiting. It’s not too far from Antwerp, so this multiple city day trip is doable.

I think that’s a good idea only if you’re really short on time. If you do have time though, it’s best not to rush it and give each city a full day at least. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
