Motorhome and Camper van hire in Belgium

About Belgium

Once known as Europe’s Battlefield, the multilingual capital of the EU is now its sweetest member, and your diet’s greatest enemy due to its world-famous weapons: waffles and chocolates.

Belgium is one of Europe’s most underrated countries for travelling. Don’t believe us? Well, let’s zoom in on the small country. This is where the famous (and ineptly-named) French fries were invented. And a thousand delicious ways of cooking mussels. Belgium, whose 61-centimetre-tall bronze boy has been peeing in a Brussels’ basin since the 1600s. And whose cities are like giant outdoor museums, one called the Venice of the North (Bruges), another with a castle you’d find in Syria during the age of crusades (Ghent's Gravensteen). Let’s stop underrating Belgium, the country whose cute size allows for great motorhome road trips; along the Ypres of WWI and the Waterloo of Napoleon; past castles, fortresses, and quaint little towns. Yup, that’s Belgium, and that’s what’s in store for you when you hire a campervan and explore this incredibly sweet country.

Present-day Belgium is as full of surprises as a box of chocolates. Some of those chocolates are all-time favourites, like French fries. Historians trace the origins of the potato fritters back to the 1600s––and, yes, to Belgium! So why aren’t they called Belgian fries? Popular legend has American WWI-soldiers overhearing French-speaking Belgian soldiers ordering ‘les frites’, with the result of Americans called them French fries. But more than tiny treats, the chocolate box that is Belgium has whole cities full of surprises. Hire a campervan in Belgium’s main city, Brussels, stroll this grandesque capital of Europe, and quench your thirst by choosing from over 2,000 beers in the Delirium Cafe, home to the world’s best beer. In Bruges, find a picturesque medieval city taken straight out of a movie. And if you drive your RV down to Wallonia, you’ll find more medieval splendour in the form of rustic towns and beer-brewing monasteries. Belgium’s port city Antwerp is brilliant, too––literally, its centre home to thousands of diamond traders, cutters and polishers working their magic. And with a thousand more things to discover in such a moderately-sized country, underrated Belgium is a diamond in the rough, waiting for you to be explored on a truly Indie road trip.
