En juin prochain, je passerai une semaine à Paris et 5 jours à Bruxelles avec ma conjointe.
Lors de notre séjour à Bruxelles, deux choses semblent fixes:
1) Nous allons passer 2-3 jours à Bruxelles mêmes.
2) Nous allons passer 1 journée à Bruges.
Le problème est pour notre journée restante....
J'ai vu que plusieurs villes semblent intéressantes en Belgique, mais elle m'apparaissent similaire sur le plan touristique "dans les livres" (ex: Gand, Anvers, Liège, Louvain, Trounai, ...).
Mais comme je viens du Québec, je n'avais pas pris conscience comment certaines ville était proche ce qui a compliqué les choses, car j'ai remarqué une promotion avec le Thalys pour un aller-retour en train, à départ de Bruxelles pour 77 euro (donc 38 euro/personne!) pour Cologne (avec sa magnifique Cathédrale).
Je solicite donc votre aide si vous pouviez me conseillé pour ma dernière journée.... devrais-je rester en Belgique pour y visiter une ville, ou faire un saut d'une journée pour aller visiter Cologne?
Tout d'abord, c'est une bonne idée de venir visiter la Belgique. Ensuite, il y a effectivement plein de petites villes sympa à visiter chez nous. Il n'y a que l'embarras du choix! Bien sûr, Cologne vaut le déplacement, mais la Belgique regorge de trésors alors, puisque tu y seras, pourquoi ne pas en profiter?
Tout d'abord, Tournai (et non pas Trounai!...), qui dispute à Tongres le titre de plus ancienne ville de Belgique. Tournai est célèbre pour sa cathédrale aux cinq clochers "Les Chonq Clotchiers". C'est une réalisation unique au monde, avec sa nef romane et son coeur gothique. Elle est à présent patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco et en restauration. Mais Tournai compte de nombreux autres clochers, dont beaucoup méritent une petite visite. Il y a encore son beffroi, le plus ancien de Belgique, et quelques vestiges des anciennes fortifications, dont le pont des trous qui surplombe l'Escaut. Pour te faire une idée, c'est là: http://www.tournai.be
Dans les environs, tu as en retournant vers la côte Courtrai, Ypres, Furnes, charmantes villes où promener par une belle journée d'été.
Gand est également une bonne idée: il y a de quoi visiter pendant une journée facilement, et en t'adressant à l'office du tourisme, il y a moyen d'avoir des visites guidées de la ville sur différent thèmes. J'en avais suivi une excellente, qui nous avait montré pas mal de trésors architecturaux de la ville avec les explications historiques et toutes les légendes. Or Gand (Gent en flamand) en regorge: savais-tu, par exemple, que le diable y avait élu domicile?
Anvers est comparable à Gand par bien des aspects. Elle est bien sûr plus orientée encore vers la mer de par la présence d'un port gigantesque (5ème en taille dans le monde, avec le deuxième centre pétrolier au monde après Houston! On y trouve d'ailleurs la plus grande raffinerie du monde.) Elle ne manque pas d'histoire(s) non plus. A visiter: le steen, ou musée de la marine et de la mer.
Liège. J'aime beaucoup car j'y ai fait une partie de mes études. Tu risques de trouver là une ville très animée, surtout si tu y passes à la fin des examens, mais ça sera vrai dans toutes les villes universitaires de Belgique. Namur et Mons sont dans le même cas.
Toutes ces villes sont facilement accessibles en une heure de train à partir de Bruxelles. Si tu as une voiture à ce moment-là, tu peux peut-être cobiner par exemple Ypres et Furnes, ou Tournai et Mons par exemple. Même s'il y a moyen de passer une journée à visiter chacune de ces villes...
Bien sûr, on pourrait encore te trouver plein d'autres villes à visiter. Par exemple, profites de ta journée à Bruges pour visiter Damme, par exemple...
Si tu as des sujets qui te passionnent davantage (architecture, musées, histoire, que sais-je encore?...), dis-le et on pourra encore mieux t'orienter.
Bonne visite,
Ben

Je serai bref car nos amis belges t'ont donné beaucoup de détails.Pour ma part, je ne connais que Bruxelles et Brugesqui sont deux villes magnifiques que je te recommande. En plus l'accueil est super en Belgique et la cuisine délicieuse, les Belges savent vivre!!
cologne est une ville entierement detruite pendant la 2e guerre mondiale, donc c'est une ville moderne sans charmes.
Il y a en effet une belle cathedrale mais bon, ça va pas t'occuper une journee entiere.Sinon il y a egalement des musees super si tu aimes ce genre de visite.
honnetement, je te conseille plutot une journee a anvers (antwerpen) ou a amsterdam, voire a lille, en france.
J'ai beaucoup aimé Gand et Cologne (visite de la cathédrale et une balade sur le Rhin) mais à choisir au départ de Bruxelles, je te conseille plutôt Gand (la vieille ville, le Beffroi, un petit tour en barque et une bonne biére belge) ou Anvers (que je ne connais malheureusement pas) ou un détour par les pays-bas (Amsterdam) ou le nord de la France (Lille).
Décide toi sur place aprés avoir visité l'office de tourisme de Bruxelles en fonction de ton envie du moment et de tes finances.
Attention aux promotions car souvent le nombre de place est trés limité et/ou elles ne marchent que dans un sens (exemple Bruxelles-Cologne en promo mais Cologne-Bruxelles en tarif majoré heures de pointe) et/ou subordonnées à des conditions du type inclure une nuit (du type samedi) sur place et/ou avec des horaires spécifiques (départ entre 10h et 11h et retour entre 14h et 15h - impossible sur une journée).
De toute façon c'est beaucoup trop court!😉
Une chose importante à considérer: les distances sont très courtes:
Bxl - Namur: 60 km
Bxl - Anvers: 45 km
Bxl - Ostende: 120 km
Bxl - Amsterdam: 200 km
Il se peut que tu aies envie de passer une dernière journée plus relax à la mer . Dans ce cas, s'il fait beau, je te conseille de passer la frontière et d'aller en Zélande (Hollande): très nature, pas de rangées de buildings en front de mer (comme à la côte belge) une nature préservée, d'énormes plages, déjà un petit air "nordique" et, à +/- 1h1/2 de Bruxelles.
Je confirme, Cologne n'est pas vraiment une bonne idée (mais tous les goûts sont dans la nature)
Ce serait bien que tu indiques tes centres d'intérêt, pour avoir des réponses plus précises
Si tu vas à Cologne n'y va pas le dimanche. Quand j'y suis allée je n'ai pas pu visiter la cathédrale car il y avait la messe et en plus tout mais tout est fermé le dimanche en Allemagne. Donc heureusement quand j'y suis allée c'était la journée de la parade gay car sinon cela aurait été plutôt ennuyant quoi que la cathédrale est vraiment impressionante de l'extérieur du moins.
Alors, j'aime Bruxelles...où tu peux passer des heures et des jours entiers sans t'ennuyer. Je te conseille, suivant tes goûts, les musées suivants -Musée de la BD, pour son architecture art nouveau et son intérêt, Musée de l'Automobile au Cinquentenaire, Musée d'Art Nouveau-.
Autour de la Grand-Place des cafés typiques et rustiques avec des bières à tomber...😛
Et se balader et se perdre...
Pour les autres villes, j'adore Anvers, son centre ...Bruges, la romantique (visite en barque ou calèche)...Et Gand (visite en barque) et à pied...ils y ont des bières spéciales vendues que là-bas...😉
Salut, pour moi pas d'hésitation, c'est Liège! Même si les villes flamandes comme Gand ou Anvers ont leur charme aussi, bien sûr (mais tu auras déjà vu beaucoup d'architecture flamande à Bruges, de toutes façons...)
Liège est une ville francophone, à l'esprit latin, animée en toutes saisons et tous les jours de la semaine (y compris le dimanche... ce jour là se tient le marché de la Batte, le plus grand et le plus coloré de Belgique, qui s'étire sur plusieurs kilomètres de long le long du fleuve : à ne pas manquer).
Liège conserve de très nombreux monuments de toutes les époques et de tous les styles : le palais des princes-évêques, dont les cours magnifiques datent du 16e siècle, de nombreuses églises romanes, gothiques, baroques ou rococo, de beaux hôtels particuliers du 18e siècle, etc. Le site suivant te donnera tous les détails que tu cherches : http://www.fabrice-muller.be/liege/liege1.html/
Enfin une promenade nocturne dans le Carré, un quartier estudiantin ou les bars, les bistrots et les restaurants sympas se comptent par dizaines... voilà de quoi te donner l'envie de passer plus d'un jour à Liège...

Hi there, my husband and I are planning a trip to Iceland in mid-October 2026.
Would you have any advice on the best places to visit for a first trip to this destination? Thanks
Hi there, a friend will be visiting Great Britain in August and would like to explore some representative spots in Denmark before heading back to Canada.
What affordable activities could you recommend to him?
He’d really appreciate it, as he has a deep appreciation for Nordic countries—probably because of his own Nordic roots.
Thanks
Hi, I'm heading to Italy soon and I wanted to know if Italian banks charge fees when you withdraw cash at an ATM, or if, like in Spain or Greece, it's better to avoid taking out money and bring cash instead. Looking forward to your replies... Thanks
We’re planning a short trip at the end of July to explore the legendary mountains and valleys of the Bernese Oberland: round trip from Nancy (Swiss highway vignette planned), 2 nights in a room with a small kitchen in Adelboden, then 2 nights in a hotel at the Gletscherblick in Grindelwald, both with half-board included.
Could you share some tips on the best road routes to take, as well as some walking hikes (we’re not as fit as we used to be, so nothing longer than 2-3 hours)? Maybe also 1 or 2 cable car rides—I was thinking of Oeschinensee Lake above Kandersteg and the First gondola above Grindelwald for better panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau... all while keeping it doable with our schedule. We’ve ruled out the "premium" trip up to the Jungfraujoch for this time.
I’m also guessing that paying to access Wengen or Mürren only makes sense if we’re staying there for a few days, right?
- Is the road through the narrow valley of the White Lütschine toward Lauterbrunnen and beyond still worth it in terms of views and scenery?
On the way back, if we have a little time to explore Bern’s historic old town, what’s the best parking plan for a 1- or 2-hour stop?
Thanks in advance for your advice, fellow travelers familiar with this beautiful region! 😉
Amazing trip in May 2026: fantastic landscapes, such a different vibe from our other journeys, wonderful memories, but...
- Discovering the population: very few "native" Icelanders,
and exceptional discretion from the police, who were notably absent from the white vehicle stopped by the roadside that caught us speeding in mid-May...
To this day, only our inquiry with the car rental company has informed us of a "speeding ticket" message. More than a month later, we still don’t know the "severity" of the offense or the amount of the fine we’ll be "hit with."
Well, well, a taste of Icelandic administrative experience...
Hi,
I’ll be in Barcelona at the end of October.
I can choose to be there over the weekend or during the week. Probably 4 nights.
Is there a big difference in terms of crowds in the city and in the museums?
Little or no difference would simplify my itinerary on the way.
Hi there,
I’ll be in Rome from April 1st to 13th, 2026—it’s coming up fast!
I’ve been searching online for tickets to visit the Borghese Gallery, but either there’s no availability or the tickets offered are ridiculously expensive.
Could someone guide me to a website where I can book 2 skip-the-line tickets (I’ve heard you have to reserve in advance online)?
Hi everyone,
I rented a car through Klaus Wagen, picking it up in downtown Porto and returning it in downtown Lisbon.
After paying, I read some pretty negative reviews about them.
So, can anyone reassure me with positive experiences they’ve had with them?
Thanks in advance!
Hello, VoyageForum friends, and happy holidays!
I’m planning a trip with my 19-year-old grandson to Milan for Easter Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in 2025.
I’d love your insights on what we can visit in Milan that would interest both my grandson and me (I’m 75). Of course, I’m thinking of the must-sees, but not just those—cozy little restaurants, trendy neighborhoods, and anything else you’d recommend. I’m also looking for a comfortable hotel in the city center that isn’t too expensive!
I’m sure the VoyageForum community will help me uncover some hidden gems! Looking forward to your replies.
Hi there,
I’m heading to Setúbal at the end of June with my granddaughter, and I can’t seem to find clear info on the best way to get from Lisbon Airport to Setúbal. It looks like there’s a train or bus, but I can’t find the exact names of the bus (or train) companies or the precise departure points. Thanks if anyone can help me out! 😉 Just to clarify, I’m on a tight budget and have already ruled out taxis or similar options.
Hello,
We’re heading to Puglia at the end of May. We’re a senior couple. We arrive in Bari, where we’ve booked accommodation for 2 nights. We’ve rented a car.
Day 1: Bari
Day 2: Polignano a Mare – Monopoli
Day 3: Ostuni – Brindisi
Day 4: Lecce
Day 5 & 6: Exploring the coast from Otranto to Santa Maria di Leuca
Day 7 & 8: Gallipoli area
Day 9 & 10: Matera
We’re considering renting a place near Lecce for 5 days and using it as a base to explore the region.
Hi there,
I visited the Faroe Islands in late March 2026 for about ten days. I was invited by a friend who lives near Tórshavn, so I don’t have any info on tourist accommodations or car rentals. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about my trip:
- Before leaving, I consulted travel guides and blogs. I was surprised by how repetitive and unoriginal the featured sites were. This leads hurried travelers to follow the same overcrowded routes, which can annoy locals. I found that all Faroese villages were interesting—they reflect the country’s identity, even without the iconic grass-roofed houses. Those are indeed harmonious and beautiful, but they feel like an exotic cliché. For activities, I loved the lively ports that keep the country running.
- I was annoyed by the paid trails in tourist spots. Locals explained that these paths cross private land, and owners are responsible for maintenance and safety. There are plenty of free trails, too—signs at the start detail their features. While not alarmist, the extreme and unpredictable weather is a key factor to consider before setting out.
- The wind’s strength really impressed me. The architecture, with doors and windows opening outward to prevent gusts from blowing roofs off, speaks to the harsh climate. Some days, relentless rain and squalls made going outside unappealing. I realized that in this country, it’s best to plan for flexible indoor days.
- Distances are relatively short. I was happy to be based near Tórshavn because it was easy to explore one or more places in a day. The roads are in great condition. In late March, diesel was 2 €. Tunnel tolls can add up (~26 € per crossing), making a fixed base less practical than I’d thought.
- Everyone agrees: the landscapes are breathtaking. Nature feels untamed here—except for the short grass, thanks to all the woolly sheep.
- The flight from Paris to the Faroe Islands (and back) was long in March—11 hours with three legs: Paris-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Copenhagen, Copenhagen-Vágar. In bad weather, Vágar Airport can close, causing delays. During tourist season, Atlantic Airways offers a direct Paris-Faroe Islands flight, which is more comfortable and cheaper.
- I found a book recommendation in a guide that fascinated me after my trip: *Les collectionneurs d'images* by Joanes Nielsen. Through its sometimes caricatured characters, it offers a glimpse into Faroese mentalities from the 1950s to 1970s—attitudes that likely persist today.
In conclusion, I’ve traveled a lot and I’m tired of destinations that all start to look the same. The Faroe Islands were a delight—a country stunning in its landscape, climate, and culture, where tourism has barely altered its authenticity.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip for October to visit Naples (6 nights) and the Amalfi Coast (5 nights). We’ve already got the historic center and the Lapis Museum in Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Procida, Sorrento, and Ravello on our list. Any suggestions, addresses, or tips?
Thanks for your help.

Summer 2027 is going to be Norwegian for us!
We’re heading to the Lofoten Islands first, then Senja, near Tromsø, and finally the North Cape.
We’ll likely start from northern Finland (flight tickets and car rentals are more affordable there).
I’d like to book accommodations early to have more options.
Good value-for-money places go fast in these pricey Nordic destinations...
But where should we book?
We’re planning to stay around ten nights in the Lofoten Islands.
What’s the best approach?
One place in the central part and explore from there?
One place in the south and another in the center?
Or one in the south, one in the center, and one in the north (3-4-3 nights)?
Hi there,
I’m looking for some great tips for a stay in Palma de Mallorca this summer.
I need cheap flights departing from Toulouse and affordable accommodation for 4 people.
What do you recommend?
Best regards,
I’d love to get your thoughts on the following itinerary (late May). I like to take my time in ruins and museums, and beaches don’t interest me. I’ll be staying in hostels and using public transport. Do you see any major omissions or things that aren’t worth it?
Thanks!

Hello,
We’re heading to Bavaria from May 13 to 23, with a side trip to Austria.
Here’s our itinerary:
Day 1: Brussels-Munich
Day 2: Munich
Day 3: Munich and departure for Salzburg
We’ll be staying three nights in Salzburg.
Then we’ll head to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where we’ll stay for five nights.
Visiting Munich and Salzburg isn’t too tricky.
Once in Garmisch, we’re planning a day in Innsbruck, a day for Neuschwanstein Castle, and the rest is still up in the air.
What’s really got me stumped is that we’d love to see Königssee Lake—everyone says it’s a must-see.
We’d also like to visit the Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), where the landscapes are supposedly stunning.
This would either be a round trip while we’re in Salzburg or on the way between Salzburg and Garmisch, but I’m guessing it’s impossible to do the drive from Salzburg to Garmisch, the Eagle’s Nest, *and* Königssee Lake all in one day.
Plus, the Alpine route between Salzburg and Garmisch seems prettier than the highway.
But honestly, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with the planning.
We should’ve added a stop between Salzburg and Garmisch, but the hotels are already booked.
Thanks for any advice on the itinerary and visits!
Another question: How far in advance should we book Neuschwanstein, Königssee, and the Eagle’s Nest in May?
Thanks so much in advance for your tips and ideas!
hi
I’m wondering if anyone can give me some info on how to get from Mallorca to Menorca.
Since flights are cheaper to Mallorca, I’d like to go that way.
Thanks so much for your help!
We’re planning a trip to Finland and Norway this summer, starting in Oulu to explore Lapland, heading up to the North Cape, and then making our way down to Bergen.
This route means renting a car in Finland and dropping it off in Norway. My initial searches are showing rental rates that are... astronomical—about three times the price compared to returning it at the starting point.
I’m guessing I’m not the only one wanting to visit both countries. Are there any great tips to drastically reduce the cost of renting a car?
Hi there, we’re a couple of bikers planning a trip to Majorca in June 2026, and I’d love to organize a half-day or full-day boat or catamaran outing. Which coast do you think is the nicest for this, and do you have any suggestions or personal experiences to share? Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there are any works in progress at Torcello, and if so, what type of works and how long they’re expected to last?
Thanks in advance
Hi everyone,
I’m sharing my draft itinerary with you because I just booked our flight tickets, and I feel like it’s quite late in the season. So, I’d like to be sure about my stops before reserving the hotels. I’ll be traveling alone with my two adult children. We want to prioritize outdoor walks, avoid too many indoor visits (both for budget and preference), and not spend too much time on the road.
D1: Arrival at 9 AM in Malaga, day in Malaga and overnight stay
D2: Head straight to Nerja (1-hour drive) and spend the night there
D3: Head straight to Granada (1.5-hour drive), spend the day and night there
D4: Granada. Visit the Alhambra (Nasrid Palaces tour at 5 PM) and spend the night
D5: Head to Ronda (2.5-hour drive) and spend the night
D6: White Villages and overnight in Ronda
D7: Head straight to the Costa del Sol (e.g., Estepona), spend the day and night there
D8: Return to Malaga to catch our flight
There you go! This itinerary takes into account that we’d like to do a circuit starting from Seville in a few years. That said, it’d be a shame to miss something doable from Malaga.
Questions:
Since the Alhambra visit is only at 5 PM, and we’d already have the day to explore Granada, would arriving the day before be a mistake? Or should we skip this day and dedicate it elsewhere (Costa del Sol? Head toward Tabernas?)? The old town appeals to me, but maybe the Sacromonte neighborhood isn’t essential...
Same question for Ronda: should we dedicate a full day to it, or combine Ronda and the White Villages in one day?
Note that we love wandering around villages outside, so that might answer my question! :)
Final question: Is it better to rent the car at Malaga Airport or in the city? If we rent at the airport, we’d need a hotel with parking, which doesn’t seem easy. Or stay outside the city and park for free near the center if possible? I’ve read comments about taking a taxi to Malaga and then picking up the rental car at the airport the next morning. The taxi would really need to be affordable...
Thanks so much for your feedback and suggestions for visits during this little circuit.
Have a great day, everyone!
Christine
Hello,
we’re a couple planning a 2-week road trip this August, with a must-stop (about 3 days on Skye). Any route suggestions? Hotel recommendations? Photo spots?
My husband and I are planning a trip to Ireland in September 2026.
We’ll be flying from Montreal to London, where we’ll spend three nights.
After that, we’ll head to Dublin for a few days and take trains to visit the main attractions.
Our ideal plan would be to choose hotels near train stations and take tours to the interesting spots.
Would 8 days in Ireland be enough for this kind of trip?
