The shape of the trip

  1. Outbound · 1h 30m

    Dover – Calais

  2. 1h 35m drive from Calais

    Bruges

    2 nights · Canal House on the Groenerei

    A city that rewards an early start: bell towers, still water and waffle steam on cobbles that stay empty until the coaches arrive. Park the car on the edge and walk the rest.

  3. 35m drive from Bruges

    Ghent

    2 nights · Leie Lofts

    Ghent has the canals and the step-gabled houses without the crowds Bruges draws. It is also a working university city, which means better coffee, later kitchens and cheaper beer.

  4. 50m drive from Ghent

    Antwerp

    2 nights · Het Zuid Townhouse

    A port city with a cathedral you can see from the motorway, a fashion scene that outgrew its own reputation, and a station worth arriving early for.

  5. Return · Dover – Calais

    3h 20m drive to the port
