WESTERN FLANDERS 107GETTING AROUND
The motorways provide the fastest road links between
main cities. Belgian National Railways has a network that
reaches all major towns and many smaller communities,
while De Lijn (Flanders’ public transport service) runs a
comprehensive bus service, including the Belbus and the
Kusttram (see p333). Scheduled boat trips on rivers and
canals in and around Bruges and Ghent offer a different
and more leisurely way of getting around.0 km0 miles1010Flowering clumps of sea lavender on the flat expanse of marshland at the Zwin nature reserveKEY
