Driving in Belgium
Driving in Belgium is quite straight forward with rules of the road pretty much the same as anywhere else in Europe. It is a small country where most places are just a short drive away.
Go to the medieval town of Brugge or visit the bustling capital of Brussels. Paris, Amsterdam, Luxembourg and Cologne are all within driving distance from wherever you are in Belgium.
