You’ll comfortably explore all of the city and the surrounding areas that you can't visit using public transit. Car rentals are more convenient, since you can stop wherever you want. From Ghent, you can drive to Belgium's capital, Brussels, in about an hour's drive; there, explore the iconic attractions in the nation's capital, such as the Grand Place, Atomium, and European Parliament. After Brussels, you might head to the Scheldt River valley surrounding Ghent, which offers beautiful country landscapes, quaint villages, and historic castles.
