Our Neighbourhood

The house is situated at the centre of Belgium, perfectly in the middle of the two main cities Brussels and Antwerp.
In the direct surrounding you find all needed facilities, like shops and good public transport. There is a supermarket at 200 meter walking and a nature/recreation area at 500 meter. It is also an ideal starting point for biking.
Belgium is well-known for its ancient cities, gastronomy (chocolate, beer, etc.), comics (tintin), its coast and the Ardens and this all at small distances. For more information, check out:

This house is perfectly situated to explore all this ...
Even more: Paris is only 45 minutes away in train from Brussels and also London is easy to reach by train from Belgium. You can visit those cities in one day, or stay overthere some more days.
Amsterdam is just a short time in train, and Rotterdam even closer. Very easy to go for a day-trip
