It's easy to drive to the border and get the hell out (if you want to leave)

A street sign in Liege points you in the direction of three countries

Belgium borders on France, Holland, Germany and Luxembourg. One of the redeeming qualities to Brussels is how it is so easy to hop on a train and leave the country. Hop on the Eurostar and you are in London in no time. Thalys will get you into Paris in less than two hours. Drive to Cologne, Germany also in under two hours. If you want to enjoy Amsterdam in all its glory, you can either drive or take the new high speed train. It is that easy.

Is going to Luxembourg from Brussels considered going abroad? Just some food for thought!
