Embarking on the Antwerp Round Trip - Through Belgium's Hidden Treasures offers an unparalleled way to experience the country at your own pace. Spanning 739 km over 8 days, this journey is perfectly calibrated for RV travel. Instead of rushing between major metropolitan centers, this loop prioritizes the quiet charm of lesser-known gems and picturesque towns. The flexibility of a motorhome allows you to linger at historic sites, detour for a tranquil hike, or simply enjoy a morning coffee surrounded by scenic landscapes. Because the distances between points of interest in Belgium are relatively short, you spend less time behind the wheel and more time immersing yourself in authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences.
This 739 km circuit is designed for slow travel. Rather than a rigid daily schedule, we recommend breaking the journey into comfortable stages. For the detailed day-by-day itinerary and interactive map, refer to the full plan on rvplan.net.
Your journey begins in the vibrant city of Antwerpen. As you pick up your RV and head out of the city limits, the landscape quickly transitions into peaceful countryside. The driving during this initial stage is minimal, allowing you to get comfortable with your vehicle and ease into the rhythm of the road. Expect to encounter welcoming parks and early opportunities for family activities as you settle into camper life.
As you venture further along the route, the terrain becomes more undulating, revealing some of Belgium's captivating natural features. This stage is characterized by scenic drives connecting extensive hiking areas and fascinating geological formations, including accessible caves. The pacing remains relaxed, encouraging spontaneous stops to rent bikes or explore the great outdoors.
Entering the second half of your trip, the focus shifts toward Belgium's rich heritage. The daily mileage here is highly manageable, giving you ample time to tour historical sites and engage in traditional visits. Whether you are riding a local cable railway for panoramic views or visiting regional attractions, this segment offers a deep dive into local culture without the crowds of typical tourist trails.
The final leg of your 739 km adventure gently guides you back toward Antwerpen. The driving is straightforward, allowing for a few final stops at local zoos or family-friendly parks. This concluding stage is all about reflection and enjoying the last moments of your mobile retreat before returning your RV to the starting point.
