It has 37 miles of coastline on the North Sea, to the northwest of the country.

Transport Information

Internal Travel - As Belgium is such a small country, there are no internal flights. Belgium’s waterways offer a great way to enjoy the country, whether it is on a one-hour canal cruise or an extended voyage between major cities. Belgian National Railways (NMBS/SNCB) operate a comprehensive railway network with regular trains on most lines. Main towns are connected by toll-free motorways. By car, motorways are designated by a white ‘E’ on green signs, other trunk roads by the prefix ‘N,’ and minor roads by a ‘P.’ Traffic drives on the right.
