We had planned a tour of Belgium for a long time. To get straight to the point - we absolutely loved the great cities, especially Ghent. On the coast we let some nostalgia play, but it was worth it. We can only warmly recommend this approximately one-week tour.

Stellplatz Maastricht
We started our Belgium tour in the Netherlands. We also found this pitch in Maastricht at Top Platz. 18€/N without electricity is a reasonable price. There is even free WiFi for this. The sanitary facilities are very clean. There is an extra charge for showers and electricity. The adjacent country road can be heard well.
It takes 10 minutes by bike to get to the center. We checked out the Museum of Illusion and downtown. The fries at Reitz (at the town hall) had to be of course. A visit to Maastricht is definitely worthwhile, if only for the great shops and impressive sculptures.

Antwerpen, Belgien
We parked on the opposite side of the Scheldt, roughly where the pedestrian tunnel begins. There were enough places available. From there you can also take the ferry for free and arrive directly at the castle.
So far we had avoided visiting Antwerp, as the impression one gets from the city motorway does not exactly tempt us to do so. But this is just a misleading contrast program. Like Bruges or Ghent, the city center is absolutely worth seeing. If you don't want to take a guided tour, it's worth downloading an electronic city tour from the Internet. We enjoyed the beautiful city center for about 2 hours.
After a last fries, we started the 2-hour walk home from here.
