Hi, Late to the game but starting a 3 night getaway from London for Easter weekend (April 14, 3 nights). Travelling solo, enjoy sight seeing, strolling and dining. Don't need a lot of nightlife but want active city/town. Was thinking of Eurostar to Bruges (will return to Brussels another time). Budget is €150/night for accommodations. I know it is busy long weekend so hoping to book this weekend. Never been to Belgium but also open to other suggestions, too. Thanks.

Bruges is not active.
I'd recommend visiting one day in Brugge then sleep in gent.
Gent is one hour ir so by train. Very quaint.
No idea about accomidation though I hardly ever sleep elsewhere than my own bed in Belgium.try booking or hotels com.

Hello Gina:

I am planing to be in Antwerp on business on Monday 3rd and thinking of traveling on the previous Saturday to Brugges/Ghent/Antwerp and am having a dreadful time getting hotels in any of the above anywhere central at a reasonable rate (like yours).

Can I suggest you start by getting on to Hotels.com and find a central hotel FIRST before you proceed any further with you planning?

Personally, I am thinking I will end up i Antwerp, as it is larger and has a lot of hotels, not staying in the centre, and taking a train from there to either Ghent (my first preference) or Brugges.

regards Ger

Thanks WoinParis and OReilly. Will look to stay in Ghent and visit Brugges. As you mention, accommodations are limited already for my budget.

It's a busy holiday weekend, with a four-day weekend for many people. Brugge will be mobbed.
Stay in Gent.

Had trouble finding accommodations so will save Bruge/Gent/Antwerp/Brussels for another long weekend. Thanks.
