Belgium is drawing visitors to Brussels, Ghent, and Antwerp with creative districts and culinary innovation, while Switzerland attracts demand for scenic rail journeys, Alpine landscapes, and quiet luxury in Lucerne, Zermatt, and Interlaken. Travel experts say seamless rail connectivity between the two countries supports longer, slower, and more sustainable multi-country trips.
