In April, my friend and I will be starting from her home in Portsmouth, England and traveling for six days via train. We have a Eurail pass that included four days of unlimited travel but will supplement with local rail systems. We were thinking of Belgium (Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp). Do we have time to add another destination? If so, what would you choose? We enjoy art, history, walking/hiking and learning about the culture of the places we visit. I was thinking about a nearby city or two in Germany or France or maybe even Luxembourg. Thank you in advance.

I’d stick to Northern France - Brittany sounds really interesting with its beautiful coastline, ancient stone circles, unique culture and great seafood. It is not mentioned much on the forum but friends who have been loved it.

Given you interests and Belgium cities already planned, Ghent would fit well for either a day trip or a couple days.
