I am spending four days in Belgium with my wife. Any suggestions on how I should divide my time between the cities? And should I pick a single city and day trip out of that one city?
Thanks.
Well Brussels is in the middle of the country so it is propably the easiest to stay there and go for day trips. I lived there for a while. I especially liked Ghent, which is just a neat little town with a lot of cool hip bars and stores. The typical city all tourists go to is Bruges, which is quite beautiful. Then you can also visit Oostende, which lies at the sea. I did all of those three in one day but that was crazy. Have fun!

1. Have a boat trip in Bruges
2. Go to Ghent or Bruges for a diner. Food there could be really cheap and good. Just don't spend your money on dishes which are more expensive than 15€ per person.
3. Visit Antwerp for shopping (Meir), Grote Markt and the cathedral. You can buy a lpr of sweet things in Antwerp
4. When you are in Brussels you just should visit the Grote Markt/Grand Place, the Royal Palace/ Koudenberg and the European quarter if you're interested in politics.
5. Wallonia is well known for its castles and nature. You could just drive around there, but avoid Charleroi.
